TLDR
The authors studied the variation of contrast sensitivity across the visual field during development in infant monkeys in order to investigate the behavioral consequences of this immaturity and found that the sensitivity of the infant foveal region is similar to that of the near periphery.About:

The Detection of Visual Contrast in the Behaving Mouse

TL;DR: This work trained mice to detect visual contrast in a two-alternative forced-choice task and compared the behavioral performance of the mice to predictions of a simple decoder applied to neural responses measured in primary visual cortex of awake mice during passive viewing, suggesting that mice might not use optimally the information contained in the activity of visual cortex.

Spatial sensitivity of macaque inferior temporal neurons
Hans Op de Beeck,Rufin Vogels +1 more
TL;DR: The first detailed, quantitative data on the spatial sensitivity of neurons in the anterior part of the inferior temporal cortex (area TE) in awake, fixating monkeys suggest that TE neurons can code for the position of stimuli in the central region of the visual field.

Computational Maps in the Visual Cortex
TL;DR: This paper describes the development of Maps and Connections and the construction of LISSOM, a Computational Map Model of V1, and the role of plasticity, Hierarchical Model in this development.

Development of sensitivity to visual motion in macaque monkeys.
Lynne Kiorpes,J. Anthony Movshon +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the development of motion sensitivity depends on mechanisms beyond the low-level filters presumed to limit acuity and contrast sensitivity, and most likely reflects the function of extrastriate visual areas.

Spatial frequency sensitivity in macaque midbrain
TL;DR: The rhesus macaque superior colliculus, a structure instrumental for rapid visual exploration with saccades, detects low spatial frequencies, which are the most prevalent in natural scenes, much more rapidly than high spatial frequencies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an introduction and introduction of the concept of adapTION, and a summary of the main points of the proposed approach, including identification and identification.

Probability summation and regional variation in contrast sensitivity across the visual field.
John G. Robson,Norma Graham +1 more
TL;DR: Compared sensitivity at different positions in the visual field has been measured at various spatial frequencies using a patch of grating suitably vignetted to give a stimulus localized in both space and spatial frequency to explain the relation between sensitivity and number of cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the human fovea during development
TL;DR: Measurements of foveola width and cone diameter reach the adult stage of development at 45 months of age, but the two important visual factors of outer segment length and cone packing density still are only half the adult values at 45 years of age.

Postnatal Development of Vision in Human and Nonhuman Primates
TL;DR: Many of the behavioral and anatomical studies reviewed below suggest major similarities of development, with rough parity at birth, and development proceeding about four times faster in Old World monkey infants than in human infants.
