Injections are organized into groups (Group.) according to the main area injected, as presented in the text. Tracers included cholera toxin subunit B (CTb), diamidino yellow (DY), fast blue (FB), fluoro-ruby (FR) or fluoro-emerald (FE). Injection procedures (Injection proc.) included direct pressured injections (P) or injections through a multiarray electrode cannula (C). (N) Total number of cells labeled in area V2 and prostriata. (N supra) Number of labeled cells in supragranular layers. The total cells number of cells plotted on the lateral surface of the parietal and temporal lobes in the ipsilateral hemisphere (Tot. cells par./temp.) was used as a reference to calculate the relative number of cells in early visual areas (Percent par./temp.).

Note: CL, caudal lateral auditory belt area; CM, caudal medial auditory belt area; CPB, caudal parabelt auditory area; DY, diamidino yellow; FE, fluoro-emerald; FR, fluoro-ruby; Ipa, area Ipa from Cusick et al. (1995); SII, secondary somatosensory area.
