Mapping of the extrastriate areas. The extrastriate areas recently described in the mouse (Wang et al., 2007; Wang and Burkhalter, 2007; Garrett et al., 2014) could be delineated for the (A_i − D_i) upper and (A_j − D_j) lower layers using (A) the created top view of zif268 expression patterns of 1wME mice which still heavily relies on the remaining ipsilateral eye inputs to drive the binocular zones. The outer lateral and medial borders were set at the rhinal fissure and the medial border of V2MM (red arrows in Figure 1A). (B–C) This creates a mask for all 11 extrastriate areas [lateromedial area (LM), anterolateral area (AL), rostrolateral area (RL), anterior area (A), anteromedial area (AM), posteromedial area (PM), posterior area (P), postrhinal area (POR), laterointermediate area (LI), laterolateral anterior area (LLA), and medial area (M)] and V1. (D) Overlaying the mask with sighted control animals results in a very accurate mapping of the visual areas with V1 having the highest zif268 expression. Panels and axes legends are the same as in Figure 4.
