Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to identify and map the representation of the visual field in seven areas of human cerebral cortex and to identify at least two additional visually responsive regions. The cortical locations of neurons responding to stimulation along the vertical or horizontal visual field meridia were charted on three-dimensional models of the cortex and on unfolded maps of the cortical surface. These maps were used to identify the borders among areas that would be topographically homologous to areas V1, V2, V3, VP, and parts of V3A and V4 of the macaque monkey. Visually responsive areas homologous to the middle temporal/medial superior temporal area complex and unidentified parietal visual areas were also observed. The topography of the visual areas identified thus far is consistent with the organization in macaque monkeys. However, these and other findings suggest that human and simian cortical organization may begin to differ in extrastriate cortex at, or beyond, V3A and V4.
功能磁共振成像（fMRI）被用于识别和绘制人类大脑皮层七个区域中视野的表征，并识别至少两个额外的视觉反应区域。沿着垂直或水平视野子午线对刺激产生反应的神经元的皮层位置，被绘制在皮层的三维模型以及皮层表面的展开图上。这些图谱被用于识别与猕猴的V1、V2、V3、VP以及V3A和V4部分在地形学上同源的区域之间的边界。还观察到了与颞中/颞上内侧区域复合体以及未明确的顶叶视觉区域同源的视觉反应区域。迄今为止所识别的视觉区域的地形与猕猴的组织结构一致。然而，这些以及其他发现表明，人类和猿类的皮层组织可能在V3A和V4或其之外的纹外皮层开始出现差异。
