Brodmann (1909) area 17

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_8440010

A subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined occipital region of cerebral cortex in the human. Defined by the band of Gennari, which gives it the name striate (furrowed) area, it occupies the banks of the calcarine sulcus which are located in the cuneus and the lingual gyrus of the occipital lobe. Cytoarchitecturally it is bounded by the area 18 of Brodmann (human) which surrounds it ( Brodmann-1909 ). In the mouse ( Paxinos-2001 ) and the rat ( Swanson-1998 ) it is located on the dorsolateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere[BrainInfo]. [ BrainInfo:2102 ]

Synonyms: b09-17, Brodmann area 17, primate striate cortex, area 17 of Brodmann-1909, BA17, Brodmann area 17, striate

comment

This term was split out from primary visual cortex as many of the axioms and annotations were specific to primates or humans.
