area V2 (V2)

The term area V2 refers to an area defined by multiple criteria in a belt around the occipital lobe that includes parts of the cuneus, the lingual gyrus and the middle occipital gyrus in humans and macaques. It is located largely between area V1 and area V3 in early visual cortex. It is distinguished from surrounding areas by cytoarchitecture, myelination, resting state functional activity, and absence of functional connectivity with the lateral geniculate nucleus. Other authors have referred to the same topological area as 18, hOC2, OB, or BA18 ( Glasser-2016 ).

Also known as: area V2, second visual area
