abstract = {The visual cortex is the largest sensory modality
representation in the neocortex of humans and closely
related species, and its size and organization has a central
role in discussions of brain evolution. Yet little is known
about the organization of visual brain structures in the
species closest to humans--the apes--thus, making it
difficult to evaluate hypotheses about recent evolutionary
changes. The primate visual cortex is comprised of numerous
cytoarchitectonically distinct areas, each of which has a
specific role in the processing of visual stimuli. We
examined the histological organization of striate (V1) and 2
extrastriate (V2 and ventral posterior) cortical areas in
humans, 5 ape species, and a macaque. The cytoarchitectural
patterns of visual areas were compared across species using
quantitative descriptions of cell volume densities and
laminar patterns. We also investigated potential scaling
relationships between cell volume density and several brain,
body, and visual system variables. The results suggest that
interspecific variability in the cytoarchitectural
organization of visual system structures can arise
independently of global brain and body size scaling
relationships. In particular, species-specific differences
in cell volume density seem to be most closely linked to the
size of structures in the visual system.},
