Abstract
Most developmental studies of visual system functional organization have concentrated, quite sensibly, on areas in which the adult organization was already well understood. In vertebrates, these include the ocular dominance, orientation and retinotopic maps in mammalian visual cortex, and the retinotopy (and in experimental preparations, the ocular segregation) in frog optic tectum. Developmental aspects of these topics are covered elsewhere in this volume. Here we review the wealth of new data on the functional architecture of monkey visual cortex, a system particularly ripe for future developmental enquiry.
