“…It has long been held that the corpus callosum is responsible for the blending together of the two visual-hemifield representations to permit a single percept of the visual field (Choudhury et al 1965;Hubel & Wiesel, 1967). To this end, callosal axons arise in area 17 from neurons in a 3-4 mm wide swath of cortex alongside the border with area 18 (Innocenti, 1980(Innocenti, , 1986Payne, 1986Payne, , 1991Segraves & Rosenquist, 1982;Shatz, 1977;Shoumura, 1981), and terminate in a narrow strip of cortex at the border between areas 17 and 18 in the opposite hemisphere (Ebner & Myers, 1965;Fisken et al, 1975;Garey et al, 1968;Innocenti, 1980Innocenti, , 1986Payne, 1986;Sanides, 1978;Shatz, 1977;Segraves & Rosenquist, 1982;Shoumura, 1981;Voigt et al, 1988). When this pattern of connectivity is compared to the visual-field maps compiled for this region of cortex by Albus and Beckmann (1980) and Tusa et al (1978), several features about the representation of the visual field in the callosal fiber recipient zone can be educed:…”
