The cytoarchitectonic boundaries of the monocular and binocular areas of the rat primary visual cortex.
We describe the cytoarchitectonic characteristics of the monocular (Oc1M) and the binocular (Oc1B) areas of the rat visual cortex and their boundaries in Nissl-stained sections. This formulation, which draws upon the computer image analysis of these areas by Zilles et al. (J. Comp. Neurol., 226 (1984) 391-402), can aid in the delineation of Oc1M from Oc1B in quantitative studies requiring a volumetric analysis of both subfields.
