摘要：

Functional homology between human and macaque visual cortices has provided an important cue to functional subdivisions of the human visual cortex, but it is unclear beyond V1. We estimated the sizes and the visual field eccentricity functions of the extrastriate visual areas of human brains using MRI and fMRI measurements to analyze the interindividual and interspecies variations. We found distinctive features of the area fraction values relative to A and the visual field eccentricity functions beyond V2 between the human and the macaque visual cortices. This suggests that selection on color-form and stereoscopic vision, associated with processing and manipulating socio-visual stimuli, may generate variations of the architecture of the extrastriate visual cortex beyond V2.
