TLDR
The presence of both direction and speed selectivity in MT of the macaque suggests that this area is more specialized for the analysis of visual motion than has been previously recognized.Abstract:
1. Recordings were made from single units in the middle temporal visual area (MT) of anesthetized, paralyzed macaque monkeys. A computer-driven stimulator was used to make quantitative tests of sel...read more

Two mechanisms for the detection of slow motion
TL;DR: In this paper, the lower threshold of motion (LTM) was investigated as a function of eccentricity and the temporal properties of the LTM change with eccentricity, suggesting a dichotomy in the temporal property of the neural mechanisms subserving this aspect of central and peripheral vision.

Visual neurons in the pigeon brain encode the acceleration of stimulus motion.
Peng Cao,Yong Gu,Shu-Rong Wang +2 more
TL;DR: The visual responses of pretectal neurons indicate that the visual and vestibular systems share not only a spatial but also a temporal reference frame that can detect the acceleration produced by self-motion of an organism.

Plasticity of Human Motion Processing Mechanisms Following Surgery for Infantile Esotropia
TL;DR: The data imply that binocular motion processing mechanisms in infantile esotropia patients are capable of some degree of recovery, and that this plasticity is restricted to a critical period of visual development.

Cortical Plasticity Induced by Spike-Triggered Microstimulation in Primate Somatosensory Cortex
TL;DR: The physiological findings of this study suggest that even simple microstimulation protocols can be used to increase somatosensory information flow, and may cause cortical changes that could either compete with or complement natural neural processes, and result in neuroplastic changes rendering the region dysfunctional or even epileptic.

Cortical and cerebellar activation induced by reflexive and voluntary saccades.
Caroline K. L. Schraa-Tam,Phillippus van Broekhoven,Josef N. van der Geest,Maarten A. Frens,Marion Smits,Aad van der Lugt +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the alleged separate mechanisms for saccadic control of reflexive and self-paced voluntary saccades are mainly observed in cerebral rather than cerebellar areas.

Receptive fields and functional architecture of monkey striate cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: The striate cortex was studied in lightly anaesthetized macaque and spider monkeys by recording extracellularly from single units and stimulating the retinas with spots or patterns of light, with response properties very similar to those previously described in the cat.

Silver Staining of Myelin by Means of Physical Development
TL;DR: For staining myelin with silver a physical development technique has been devised that can render visible the thinnest fibers in various animal species, including fishes and reptiles, even in the early phase of myelination and may be applied to both frozen and embedded materials.
