The functional organization of the second cortical visual area was examined with three different anatomical markers: 2-[14C]deoxy-D-glucose, cytochrome oxidase, and various myelin stains. All three markers revealed strips running throughout the area, parallel to the cortical surface. The boundaries of these strips provide an anatomical criterion for defining the borders of this extrastriate region. Further, the demonstration of these strips allows a functional and anatomical analysis of modules in the area, just as the recent demonstration of spots in the primary visual cortex has allowed an analysis of modules there. The strips differ structurally and functionally from interstrip regions and these differences are similar to those seen between the spots and the interspot regions in the primary visual cortex. In the macaque the strips and spots differ with regard to binocular organization.
2-[¹⁴C]脱氧-D-葡萄糖、细胞色素氧化酶和各种髓鞘染色。所有这三种标记物都显示出贯穿该区域、与皮质表面平行的条带。这些条带的边界为定义这个纹外区域的边界提供了一个解剖学标准。此外，这些条带的显示使得能够对该区域的模块进行功能和解剖学分析，就像最近在初级视觉皮质中对斑点的显示使得能够对那里的模块进行分析一样。这些条带在结构和功能上与条带间区域不同，并且这些差异类似于在初级视觉皮质中斑点和斑点间区域之间看到的差异。在猕猴中，条带和斑点在双眼组织方面存在差异。
