RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000087642
Annotation: do not confuse entry term STRIATE CORTEX with CORPUS STRIATUM (basal ganglia)
Scope Note: An area comprised of parts of OCCIPITAL LOBE and the CALCARINE SULCUS of the visual cortex in humans with direct connectivity to the LATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEUS. It is the end organ where visual stimuli are received in the visual cortex.
