Functional properties of neurons in middle temporal visual area of the macaque monkey. I. Selectivity for stimulus direction, speed, and orientation
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

Behavioral and Neurophysiological Aspects of Target Interception
TL;DR: The neural responses associated with the temporal and spatial parameters of a moving target and the possible neurophysiological mechanisms used to integrate this information in order to trigger an interception movement are described.

Neural Mechanisms of Stimulus Velocity Tuning in the Superior Colliculus
Khaleel A. Razak,Sarah L. Pallas +1 more
TL;DR: A model is proposed suggesting spatiotemporal interactions between inhibition and excitation that could underlie velocity tuning of Superior colliculus (SC) neurons, and occluding the surround reduced velocity selectivity by enhancing responses to slowly moving stimuli.

Effect of the ISI on the visible persistence of a stimulus in apparent motion
TL;DR: It seems that the spatio-temporal parameters of motion, and not the speed as such, are responsible for the strength of inhibition, and optimal inhibition would need a minimum amount of time to take place, and would improve with proximity.

Direction selective neurons respond to short-range and long-range apparent motion stimuli in macaque visual area MT.
TL;DR: It is suggested that MT neurons might be involved in the long-range process rather than the short-rangeProcess of the apparent motion, which is suggested to be the case with macaque visual area MT.

Bioinspired Visual Motion Estimation
TL;DR: The task of visual motion estimation is described, the progression of works from the early first attempts through to the modern day state-of-the-art, and an outlook for future directions in the field are presented.

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.
