Russian blues reveal effects of language on color discrimination
English and Russian color terms divide the color spectrum differently. Unlike English, Russian
makes an obligatory distinction between lighter blues (“goluboy”) and darker blues (“siniy”)…

Human V4 and ventral occipital retinotopic maps
J Winawer, N Witthoft - Visual neuroscience, 2015 - cambridge.org
The ventral surface of the human occipital lobe contains multiple retinotopic maps. The most
posterior of these maps is considered a potential homolog of macaque V4, and referred to …

Where is human V4? Predicting the location of hV4 and VO1 from cortical folding
A strong relationship between cortical folding and the location of primary sensory areas in
the human brain is well established. However, it is unknown if coupling between functional …
