Notes:
Summary Visual areas V1, V2 and MT (V5) were identified through myeloarchitectonic criteria and their sizes estimated in a flattened map of caudal cerebral cortex in the marmosetCallithrix penicillata. The ratio MT/V1 in this species is similar to values reported for other species of primates, but the ratio V2/V1 in Callithrix penicillata is smaller than that in macaques and larger than that in Aotus. The possible implications of these results are discussed.
