Stripe of Gennari - definition

AKA line of Gennari. The stripe of Gennari refers to myelinated fibers that run parallel to the surface of the cerebral cortex, forming a white line along the edges of the calcarine sulcus in the occipital lobe. It gives the primary visual cortex a striped appearance, leading it to be called the striate cortex.
