Functional specialisation in the visual cortex of the rhesus monkey

Nature. 1978 Aug 3;274(5670):423-8. doi: 10.1038/274423a0.

Abstract

Anatomical and functional studies of the visual cortex of the rhesus monkey have shown that it is made up of a multiplicity of distinct areas. These seem to be functionally specialised to analyse different features of the visual environment.
