Visual Cortex: The Eccentric Area Prostriata in the Human Brain Marco Tamietto, David A. Leopold  Current Biology  Volume 28, Issue 1, Pages R17-R19 (January 2018) DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.11.006 Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Area prostriata in the monkey and human brain. (A) Topographical relationships of V1, V2 and prostriata (P) in non-primate and primate brain displaying the comparative reduction of prostriata in primates. (Adapted from [3].) (B) Location of V1, V2 and prostriata in the monkey (macaque) and human brain. (C) Examples of receptive field (RF) sizes of typical neurons in V1 and prostriata. RF sizes increase with eccentricity in V1, whereas they remain relatively constant and comparatively large in prostriata.
