THE EYE AND BRAIN IN MACAQUE AND MAN
LINEAR, AREAL AND VOLUMETRIC DIMENSIONS
With added miscellaneous data on eye and brain in macaque and man, and added dimensional data on eye and brain in non-primates

This book determines representative values for dimensional parameters of the eye and brain in extant Homo (modern man) and Macaca (Macaca fascicularis, Macaca mulatta and Macaca nemestrina). Indeed, published values in the scientific literature for the dimensions of each of these organs in each of these species differ greatly between studies: mean values published for a single parameter in a single species can differ by a factor of 1.25 for linear dimensions, a factor of 3 for areal dimensions and a factor of 1.5 for volumetric dimensions!
This book is an unprecedented reference work, both because of the large number of published values in its raw databases and because of the well-founded size of the representative values in its distilled databases. The eye and brain in macaque and man is a comparative, compre- hensive and critical review of published data: comparative as it reviews data for man and macaques; comprehensive as it reviews data in a record number; critical as it review «
