In vivo evidence of functional and anatomical stripe-based subdivisions in human V2 and V3

Abstract Visual cortex contains a hierarchy of visual areas. The earliest cortical area (V1) contains neurons responding to colour, form and motion. Later areas specialize on processing of specific features. The second visual area (V2) in non-human primates contains a stripe-based anatomical organiz...
