Description
The last 20 years of research have been marked by exceptional progress in understanding the organization and functions of the primate visual system. This understanding has been based on the wide application of traditional and newly emerging methods for identifying the functionally significant subdivisions of the system, their interconnections, the
Reviews / Votes
"Chapters are well written and offer clear examples of complicated system interconnectivity. The book offers a focused and detailed insight into a portion of the primate visual system... Overall, this book warrants its place as a valued reference book."- in Contemporary Topics in Laboratory Animal Science
