In an attempt to define the posterior subdivision of the inferotemporal visual learning area more precisely than before, pattern discrimination retention, serial object discrimination learning and concurrent object discrimination learning were tested in 16 monkeys with lesions in one of four different cytoarchitectural areas; TEO, OA, OB and OC, and in five unoperated monkeys. Marked impairment was found only in pattern discrimination retention and only in the monkeys with lesions of area TEO. It was concluded that the posterior limit of the inferotemporal visual learning area is at the ascending limb of the inferior occipital sulcus, and that the posterior subdivision thus comprises the single anatomical area TEO and does not extend into areas OA and OB.
为了比以往更精确地界定颞下视觉学习区的后部亚区，对16只在四个不同细胞构筑区（TEO、OA、OB和OC）之一有损伤的猴子以及5只未做手术的猴子进行了图案辨别保持、系列物体辨别学习和同时物体辨别学习测试。仅在图案辨别保持测试中发现了明显损伤，且仅在TEO区有损伤的猴子中出现。得出的结论是，颞下视觉学习区的后界位于枕下沟的上升支，因此后部亚区仅包括单一的解剖区域TEO，并不延伸至OA和OB区。
