Area V2 of macaque monkey prestriate cortex surrounds area V1 and most of it lies buried within sulci. It is best revealed when the back of the brain is opened up. When a section through V2 is taken in the plane of the paper and stained for the metabolic enzyme cytochrome oxidase, the characteristic pattern of thick and thin stripes, separated by lightly staining interstripes, becomes evident. K=thick stripe; N=thin stripe; I=interstripe.
