Figure 5.

Distribution of cortical surface area in V1, V2, and V3. A, Violin plots of the total mid-gray cortical surface area (cm²) in areas V1-V3 for the 181 HCP retinotopy subjects, defined from 0° to 7° eccentricity. Black dots and black lines embedded in the violin plots indicate the median ± interquartile range of the distribution. Numbers above the plots indicate the CoV (SD divided by mean). Horizontal lines indicate individual subjects. Distributions are plotted, separated by sex and laterality. B, Same as in A, but across the entire hemisphere. C, Same as in A, but normalized by total cortical area.
