Multiple unit activity in response to visual stimulation was recorded in the following telencephalic areas of the painted turtle: lateral and medial divisions of the dorsal cortex, lateral and medial divisions of the dorsal ventricular ridge, and the striatum. The data confirm anatomical evidence for ascending visual input to the dorsal cortex, the lateral dorsal ventricular ridge and the striatum. The identification of a new visual zone in a medial division of the dorsal ventricular ridge suggests that turtles, and perhaps other reptiles, possess at least 3 visual pallial areas.
背皮质的外侧和内侧部分、背侧室嵴的外侧和内侧部分以及纹状体。这些数据证实了视觉输入向背皮质、背侧室嵴外侧和纹状体上行的解剖学证据。在背侧室嵴内侧部分发现一个新的视觉区，这表明龟类以及可能其他爬行动物至少拥有3个视觉皮质区。
