The Primate Visual System

Many recent developments in the field in recording, staining,genetic and stimulation techniques, in vivo, and invitro have significantly increased the amount of available dataon the primate visual system. Written with contributions from key neurobiologists in thefield, The Primate Visual System will provide the readerwith the latest developments, examining the structure, function andevolution of the primate visual system. The book takes acomparative approach as a basis for studying the physiologicalproperties of primate vision and examines the phylogeneticrelationship between the visual systems of different primatespecies. Taken from a neurobiologist's perspective this bookprovides a unique approach to the study of primate vision as abasis for further study into the human visual system. Altogether an important overview of the structure, function andevolution of the primate visual system from aneurobiologist's perspective, written specifically for higherlevel undergraduate and graduate students taking courses inneuroscience, physiology, optics/ visual science, as well as avaluable read to researchers new to the field.
