Metabolic Mapping of the Brain's Response to Visual Stimulation: Studies in Humans.
Phelps, Michael E.; Kuhl, David E.
Science, v211 n4489 p1445-48 Mar 1981
Studies demonstrate increasing glucose metabolic rates in human primary (PVC) and association (AVC) visual cortex as complexity of visual scenes increase. AVC increased more rapidly with scene complexity than PVC and increased local metabolic activities above control subject with eyes closed; indicates wide range and metabolic reserve of visual cortex.
