Abstract
Two main topics will thread their way through this paper: The structure of the monkey striate cortex, including its inputs and outputs, and the physiological basis of color vision. When Margaret Livingstone and I began this work four years ago we did not set out to study color, but the structures in the cortex that we have been looking at turn out to be strongly involved in that sense. The work to be described here was done entirely in macaque and squirrel monkeys.
