Visually Evoked Responses from Non-Occipital Areas of the Human Cortex.

Abstract

Visually evoked neuromagnetic responses from the central area of the cerebral cortex in addition to the usual responses from the occipital areas of primary visual cortex are observed when the velocity of a moving grating pattern was modulated sinusoidally. The source of the central field has different functional properties than the source in primary sensory cortex. The position, depth, and orientation of the source are consistent with it lying in the Rolandic fissure near or in the eye representation area of motor cortex.
