Note: Total numbers and percentages are given by area or cortical region. % = percentage of one-color cells in one area or cortical region/total neurons of that color in the occipital and temporal cortex. Lower STS labeling was subdivided in rostral (r-lSTS) and caudal (c-lSTS); TEOv include labeling ventral to PMTS, clearly separated from the more densely labeled region dorsal to PMTS (TEp/TEO). It was not possible to define a border between TEp and TEO, so the quantitative analysis was performed for these 2 fields together.

%DL = The percentage of DL green/red neurons was calculated with respect to the total number of labeled cells, adding the 2 tracers (DL/tot) and for each tracer separately (DL/g, DL/r). In M2 silver cells were also counted (DLs + g = silver and green; DLs + r = silver and red).
