Primary sensory brain areas contain innate stereotyped topographies like retinotopy and somatotopy, but evidence of similar topographies underlying abstract cortical representations remains equivocal. Experience-driven self-organization provides a complementary mechanism for neural circuit development which instead yields conserved features like orientation tuning, but has also mainly been studied in sensory cortices or artificial neural networks (ANNs). Here we pursue a high level perspective on conservation of topographies and feature spaces throughout the cortex using blood oxygen level d
