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

Early Versus Delayed Repair of Infantile Strabismus in Macaque Monkeys: II. Effects on Motion Visually Evoked Responses
TL;DR: Early repair of optical strabismus in primates restores normal development of visual motion pathways in the cerebral cortex, measured as symmetric motion VEPs.
Journal Article
The detection of moving objects by moving observers
TL;DR: This work tested observers' abilities to detect a moving object when its angle of motion deviated from the radial optic flow pattern generated by observer motion in a straight line and showed that observer accuracy depends on the global pattern of the optic flow.

Mapping and Cracking Sensorimotor Circuits in Genetic Model Organisms
TL;DR: Issues associated with applying genetic approaches to circuit dissection in sensorimotor transformations are discussed, outlining important considerations for experimental design and considering how modeling can complement experimental approaches.

Visual motion serves but is not under the purview of the dorsal pathway
TL;DR: It is proposed that visual motion signals are swiftly transmitted via multiple non-hierarchical routes to primary motion-dedicated processing regions (MT/V5 and MST) that are not part of the dorsal pathway, and then propagated to a multiplicity of brain areas according to task demands, reaching these regions earlier than the dorsal/ventral hierarchical flow.

Cathodal HD-tDCS on the right V5 improves motion perception in humans.
Giuseppe Angelo Zito,Theresa Senti,Dario Cazzoli,René M. Müri,Urs Peter Mosimann,Thomas Nyffeler,Tobias Nef +6 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that in this case cathodal HD-tDCS may focus the correct perception by decreasing global excitation and thus diminishing the “noise” below threshold.

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.
