title: [Contemporary knowledge on the subject of visual cortex structure and function].
abstract: The present state of knowledge concerning the structure and the function of the visual cortex was discussed. Special attention was focused on the: (1) retino-geniculo-cortical pathway (2) representation and topography of the visual cortex (3) anatomy, physiology, and functional architecture of the primary visual cortex (4) organization and function of the parvocellular, magnocellular, and koniocellular pathway (5) functional specialization and connections between the visual areas (6) neurotransmitters' presence and function in the Brodmann's 17th area.
