Representation of both visual hemifields in the lateral suprasylvian area of one hemisphere.
Clusters of neurons of the lateral suprasylvian area are shown to be able to respond to stimulation of symmetrical areas of the ipsi- and contralateral visual hemifields. Neuron clusters with such symmetrical receptive fields have a retinotopic organization.
