A review of lamination in area 17 of the visual cortex Macaca mulatta.
This paper develops a concordance of methods for designating laminae in the primate striate cortex. The classic notation schemes of Ramón y Cajal, Brodmann, and von Bonin and four recent modifications are described in words and photomicrographs. The recent trend toward adopting a lamination scheme that effects a division of cells into recognizable layers and at the same time reflects their connections is considered. Since a single, consistent plan for lamination of the visual cortex would facilitate communication among investigators, it is suggested that Brodmann's original scheme be followed as the most generally useful and applicable.
