Feedback connections play a major role in many theories of brain function. Previous studies of feedback connections to early visual areas have mainly concentrated on the representation of central visual fields. Here, injections of tracers at different eccentricities in areas V1 and V2 revealed retinotopically organized feedback. Peripheral injections revealed projections from 15 areas that are not labeled by central injections. Connection strengths for the majority of projections vary significantly with eccentricity in a systematic fashion with respect to distance and origin; whereas projections to central and upper visual fields are significantly stronger from ventral stream areas, peripheral and lower field projections are stronger from the dorsal stream. Non-invasive functional connectivity suggests a similar anatomical organization in humans. These features are discussed with respect to the cognitive and perceptual roles of these feedback pathways.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
