Abstract
The retinotopic organization of the lateral suprasylvian area (LSA) was investigated by microelectrode recording from single neurons. Penetrations (560) were made on the medial and lateral banks of the middle suprasylvian sulcus (MSS). The receptive field positions of single neurons were mapped in relation to the retinal landmarks. A striking variability of the visuotopic organization from 1 animal to another was observed. The most persistent organization was the representation of the lower contralateral quadrant of the visual field in the rostral and middle parts of the LSA and a slight shift to the upper contralateral quadrant of the visual field in the posterior regions of the LSA.
