Research highlights
► Advances in neuroimaging over the last 25 years have dramatically transformed understanding of visual representations and enabled the discovery and routine identification of many visual field maps in human visual cortex. ► Measurements of maps and functional specialization (e.g., color, form, motion) are increasingly measured in the same subjects clarifying how the neurons in various maps contribute to visual perception. ► Retinotopic mapping methods are being extended to sub-cortical structures and coordinated with complementary neuroimaging methods, including diffusion imaging, spectral imaging, and receptor imaging.
