Blobs and Stripes in Visual Cortex
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: A photomicrograph (actually, a montage of several different tissue sections) showing a slice through the primary visual cortex (area V1) and a region of visual association cortex (V2) of a macaque monkey, stained for cytochrome oxidase. Area V1 shows spots (“blobs”), and area V2 shows three types of stripes: thick, thin (both dark), and pale. (From Sincich, L. C., and Horton, J. C.
