Topographic organization in and near human visual area V4 (Hansen, Kay & Gallant, Journal of Neuroscience, 2007)

Whether human visual area V4 is organized like V4 in non-human primates has long been debated: primate V4 has separate ventral and dorsal components, whereas human studies have argued the two halves are contiguous. This detailed mapping study, including a crucial selective-attention experiment, concludes that human V4 is organized analogously to the primate, with separate ventral and dorsal halves.
