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

Spatial layout affects speed discrimination
Preeti Verghese,Leland S. Stone +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the parsing of the visual image into entities affects the combination of speed information across space, and that each discrete entity effectively provides a single independent estimate of speed.

Motion processing asymmetries and stereopsis in infants.
TL;DR: The directional asymmetries revealed by these experiments appear to be distinct from the asymmetry of OKN and motion VEPs, and may reflect asymmetrical directional responses in extrastriate visual cortex.

Motion-based prediction explains the role of tracking in motion extrapolation
TL;DR: This paper modeled how the visual system may extrapolate the trajectory of an object during a blank using motion-based prediction and found that motion- based prediction acted at the global level as a gain control mechanism and that the model could switch from a smooth regime to a binary tracking behavior where the dot is tracked or lost.

The athletes’ visuomotor system – Cortical processes contributing to faster visuomotor reactions
TL;DR: A more comprehensive understanding of performance-determining neural functions could provide great potential for diagnostics and training to improve athletic performance.

Binocular Stereoscopy in Visual Areas V-2, V-3, and V-3A of the Macaque Monkey
TL;DR: The recordings showed that the disparity-tuned cells were biased for near disparities, tended to prefer vertical orientations, clustered by disparity preference, and often required stimulation of both eyes to elicit responses, features strongly suggesting a role in stereoscopic depth perception.

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.
