Current Biology - We describe here the functional properties of visual cortical area prostriata: it has a complete and orderly; representation of the contralateral visual field; receptive fields are large and equally distributed across the visual field; the area shows a clear preference for very fast motion, up to 500°/s.
Prostriata is difficult to study functionally, as it lies adjacent to the far periphery representation of primary visual cortex (V1), in the fundus of the calcarine sulcus.
We therefore used a powerful model-driven approach—population receptive field (pRF) mapping—to compute visual field maps [15] over a wide range of eccentricities, up to ∼60°... >>>
