Bibpdf, a simple reference manager

A common pulvinar retinotopic organization for primate species

There just need to be a post on my recently accepted paper: Pulvinar Retinotopy of a Prosimian (bush baby) The basic idea is this: people had looked at the pulvinar of two and half primate species. The two species (macaque and cebus) have been reported to have different retinotopic organizations. The difference would be interesting for evolution people, but would pose a problem for people who just started unveiling the function of pulvinar. Now, let's look at an earlier species. Which species does its pulvinar look like more? What pulvinar features are common for all three species?
