Abstract:

Primates heavily rely on vision to interact with their environment, a dependency mirrored by the brain’s remarkable capacity to process and integrate highly fragmented retinal signals into coherent visual perceptions. The scientific exploration of the primate visual brain has a rich history spanning over a century and has gained significant momentum in recent decades due to revolutionary advances in neuroimaging and brain science technologies. This article provides a concise overview of the most significant findings, highlighting the collaborative insights gained from human and non-human primate retinotopic mapping studies. This synergy is leading to a comprehensive understanding of the basic functional organization of the primate visual system, at the macroscale level of brain areas.
