Using the terminology of the human cortical map, the visual ventral pathway can be delineated as a sequential flow of connections from the primary BA17, through the secondary BA18 and BA19, culminating in BA37. The tertiary cytoarchitectural field of BA37 projects to the tertiary areas within the prefrontal (BA46) and orbitofrontal (BA11) cortex. BA37 is heterogeneous in structure. Its peripheral parts are transitional, retaining features similar to the bordering auditory and visual areas. Only the central, historically youngest part, the “nucleus” of BA37, is unique and specific to the human brain (Blinkov, 1938, 1955; Blinkov & Glezer, 1968).
