VISION WITHIN EXTRAGENICULO-STRIATE SYSTEMS, Volume 75 (Progress in Brain Research)

This book contains the proceedings of a Satellite Symposium on Vision held in conjunction with the Second World Congress of Neuroscience. A balanced overview is given of such areas as: superior colliculus; tectal and pretectal nuclei; LP-pulvinar complex; cortical areas 18 and 19; lateral suprasylvian areas; rostrally-located visual cortical areas. The topics cover a variety of species ranging from rat and ferret to old- and new-world primates. Anatomical accounts and physiological contributions from behavioural and pharmacological experiments are also presented. It represents an up-to-date account of research in extrageniculo-striate visual systems.
