Two Retinotopic Visual Areas in Human Lateral Occipital Cortex Export

@article{Heeger06:LOC, abstract = {We describe two visual field maps, lateral occipital areas 1 (LO1) and 2 (LO2), in the human lateral occipital cortex between the dorsal part of visual area V3 and visual area V5/MT+. Each map contained a topographic representation of the contralateral visual hemifield. The eccentricity representations were shared with V1/V2/V3.
