The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of
areas known to be involved in mammalian vision. It has also seen a
far greater understanding of the importance of reciprocal
connections, intrinsic connections, structure-specific modules and
modules which span different structures, as well as the
introduction of parallel processing models within the
thalamocortical and corticocortical streams.
The body of knowledge has become so vast, and is growing so
rapidly, that periodic updates are essential even for experts in
the field. This volume is based on a satellite meeting of an
international group of researchers. It emphasizes the most current
information regarding midbrain and extrastriate mechanisms
underlying vision and visually-guided behavior. The book also
places these data into the larger context of how interrelated
components of the visual system function to produce coherent visual
experiences and behavior. New research findings are presented that
are unavailable elsewhere, as well as reviews and broad
perspectives in which existing data from multiple sources are
brought together in order to help understand the structure and
function of extrageniculostriate visual areas.
