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

Facial age after-effects show partial identity invariance and transfer from hands to faces.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that face adaptation has components that cannot be explained by low-level image-based effects but involve high-level representations that may be influenced by related visual semantic information.

Area MT Neurons Respond to Visual Motion Distant From Their Receptive Fields
Daniel Zaksas,Tatiana Pasternak +1 more
TL;DR: The recruitment of neurons in the opposite hemisphere during processing of behaviorally relevant visual signals reveals a mechanism by which sensory processing can be affected by cognitive task demands.

Relationship Between Adapted Neural Population Responses in MT and Motion Adaptation in Speed and Direction of Smooth-Pursuit Eye Movements
Jin Yang,Stephen G. Lisberger +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of motion adaptation on the responses of MT neurons can support behavioral adaptation in pursuit eye movements, and a variant of vector averaging decoded the responds of a subset of the neural population.

Decoding of visual attention from LFP signals of macaque MT.
TL;DR: It is suggested that low frequency LFP can provide fast but coarse information regarding the focus of attention, while higher frequencies of the LFP deliver more accurate but less timely information about thefocus of attention.

Representation of the fovea in the superior temporal sulcus of the macaque monkey.
TL;DR: The response properties of 633 neurons from striate and prestriate cortex were recorded in 3 hemispheres of two awake cynomolgus monkeys while they fixated or tracked a small spot of light to study the location and visuotopic organization of the foveal portion of the middle temporal (MT) visual area.

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.
