3.  Connections based upon:  Scannell, J. (1997)  Determining cortical landscapes. Nature 386: 452. www.psychology.ncl.ac.uk/jack/gyri.html;  from Young, M. (1993)  The organization of neural systems in the primate cerebral cortex.  Proceedings of the Royal Society, B 252: 13-18.   Adjacencies from Felleman and Van Essen (1991) (see note 2).  Adjacencies do not include "diagonals", where only corners of two areas are contiguous (e.g., V3a and LIP in Fig. 2); similarly for all analyses below.  (Because of incomplete information, the edgering has a gap at PS, 29, 30.)  

4.  Diagram based upon: Scannell, J., Blakemore, C., and Young, M. (1995) Analysis of connectivity in the cat cerebral cortex. Journal of Neuroscience 15: 1463-1483.  (Fig. 1, p. 1466; with corrections.)  Area SVA is included in 17, ALG in 19; DP in EPp & AI, V in VP & AII, SSF in EPp; a number of boundary indeterminacies remain unresolved.  

5. Connections and adjacencies based upon Scannell et al (1995) (see note 4). Adjacencies do not include "diagonals", where only corners of two areas are contiguous.
