Description of part

prelunate gyrus, is a major source of visual inputs to area 7a (Andersen et al., 1990). DP has been distinguished from adjoining areas (V4, V3A, and 7a) primarily on the basis of differential connections, but also on the basis of visual topography and receptive field size and responsiveness (Maguire and Baizer, 1984; May and Andersen, 1986; Andersen et al., 1990). Collator note: See Table 1, pages 6-7. 7a is defined in Andersen, Asanuma & Cowan, 1985 and Andersen, Asanuma, Essick & Siegel, 1990 with high confidence in identification of region but uncertainty in border assignments (qualitative assessment of authors).
