The Primate Visual System

Many recent developments in the field in recording, staining, genetic and stimulation techniques, <i>in vivo,</i> and <i>in vitro</i> have significantly increased the amount of available data on the primate visual system. <p>Written with contributions from key neurobiologists in the field, <i>The Primate Visual System</i> will provide the reader with the latest developments, examining the structure, function and evolution of the primate visual system. The book takes a comparative approach as a basis for studying the physiological properties of primate vision and examines the phylogenetic relationship between the visual systems of different primate species. Taken from a neurobiologist’s perspective this book provides a unique approach to the study of primate vision as a basis for further study into the human visual system.</p> <p>Altogether an important overview of the structure, function and evolution of the primate visual system from a neurobiologist’s perspective, written specifically for higher level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in neuroscience, physiology, optics/ visual science, as well as a valuable read to researchers new to the field.</p>
