Citation We have drawn the borders of these MGN subdivisions only in those sections in which they were clear. In the case of the MGN, the size, shape, and orientation of cell somata aid in identification (Morest, '64, '65). Cortical area A1 was identified by its location within the anterior and posterior limbs of the ectosylvian sulci (Phillips et al., '88) and by cytoarchitectonic criteria. The extent of AI was defined in individual sections by its cytoarchitectonic char- acteristics, chiefly the density and thickness of layers IV and V (Fig. 3) (Rose, '49; Sanides and Hoffmann, '69; Otsuka and Hassler, '62).
