Journal ArticleDOI
Functional anatomy of macaque striate cortex. II. Retinotopic organization.
TL;DR: In the central half of V1, the cortical magnification was found to be greater along the vertical than along the horizontal meridian, and overall magnification factors appeared to be scaled proportionate to brain size across different species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional anatomy of macaque striate cortex. III. Color
TL;DR: The DG results suggest that color sensitivity is also high in the lower-layer (layers 5 + 6) blobs, and that many layer 5 receptive fields are double-opponent, which supports the idea of a color-insensitive stream running from the magnocellular LGN layers through striate layers 4Ca and 4B to extrastriate areas MT and V3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deoxyglucose analysis of retinotopic organization in primate striate cortex
TL;DR: The 14C-labeled 2-deoxy-D-glucose method has several advantages over conventional electrophysiological mapping techniques and should prove useful in analyzing retinotopic organization in various visual areas of the brain and in different species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrast dependence and mechanisms of masking interactions among chromatic and luminance gratings
TL;DR: The spatial-frequency selectivity of the luminance-facilitates-color interaction is much broader than facilitatory interactions in either the color-color or Luminance-luminance conditions, which is consistent with models that invoke inhibitory or more elaborate excitatory masking interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional anatomy of macaque striate cortex. IV. Contrast and magno- parvo streams
TL;DR: The sum of all available evidence suggests that the magnocellular information projects strongly through striate layers 4Ca, 4B, and 6, with moderate input into the blobs in layers 2 + 3, and to blob-aligned portions of layer 4A, which is essentially saturated at stimulus contrasts of 50% and above.
