The 2nd part of the special issue is in the final run, and will be published after completing final decisions on manuscripts under considerations. Please note that we no longer accept new submissions to this special issue. We are confident with a quality of this special issue, which covers a wide range of topics on structure-function relationship in the mammalian visual system. </div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="">————————<br class="">Table of Contents<br class=""> ————————<br class="">#1 Editorial<br class=""></span><a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s00429-021-02406-5" class="">Understanding structure–function relationships in the mammalian visual system: part one<br class=""></a><span class="">Hiromasa Takemura & Marcello G.P.
