Precise Functional Localization of the Foveolar Representation in Anesthetized Macaque Visual Cortex

The foveola-the central ~1{degrees} of the visual field-supports the highest-acuity spatial vision, yet localizing its cortical representation in the primate brain is technically demanding, particularly under anesthesia where gaze cannot be behaviorally controlled. Here we describe a hierarchical, meridian-based 7T BOLD fMRI strategy for sub-degree functional localization of the foveolar…
