Vision and Visual Dysfunction

Part 1 Order with the visual pathways: the organization of the retina; the organization of the superior colliculus; the organization of the pretectum and accessory optic system; the organization of the visual thalamus; the organization of the striate cortex; the organization of the extratriate cortex; the neurotransmitter circuitry in the geniculostriate system; the visual claustrum and its connections. Part 2 The development of an orderly visual pathway: the topography and organization of the mammalian retina reflects developmental constraints; the ontogenesis of the retinofugal pathways; the ontogenesis of the subcortical visual centres and their connections; the ontogenesis of the visual cortex and its connections; the development and organization of the interhemispheric visual pathways; the development and organization of the visual pathway in albino mammmals; the role of timing in the establishment and interconnection of retinotopic maps.
