Historically, retinotopic organisation (the spatial mapping of the retina across the cortical surface) was considered the purview of early regions of visual cortex (V1-V4) only and that anterior, more cognitively involved regions abstracted this information away. The contemporary view is quite different. Here, with Advancing technologies and analysis methods, we see that retinotopic information is not simply thrown away by these regions but rather is maintained to the potential benefit of our broader cognition. This maintenance of visuospatial coding extends not only through visual cortex, but
