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

Temporal Dynamics of 2D Motion Integration for Ocular Following in Macaque Monkeys
TL;DR: Both timing and direction of ocular following were quantitatively very consistent with the dynamics of neuronal responses reported by others, advocating for a direct link between the neuronal solution of the aperture problem and primate perception and action.

Cutaneous Afferents From the Monkeys Fingers: Responses to Tangential and Normal Forces
TL;DR: Total afferent response matched human psychophysical scaling functions for normal force in anesthetized monkeys, elucidating the neural basis for previous human Psychophysical scaling data.

Chromatic sensitivity of neurones in area MT of the anaesthetised macaque monkey compared to human motion perception
TL;DR: The results suggest that areas MT and MST may not be involved in the processing of chromatic motion, but effects of central anaesthesia and/or the existence of intra- and inter-species differences must also be considered.

Breaking camouflage: responses of neurons in the middle temporal area to stimuli defined by coherent motion.
TL;DR: Comparison with results obtained in the first (V1) and second (V2) visual areas, using similar stimuli, indicates that neural computations performed in MT result in significantly stronger and more accurate signals about camouflaged objects, particularly in situations in which these are relatively large and slow moving.

Structure and function of the middle temporal visual area (MT) in the marmoset: Comparisons with the macaque monkey
Leo L. Lui,Marcello G. P. Rosa +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the middle temporal area (MT), the most extensively studied extrastriate area in primates, and discuss similarities and differences between marmosets and macaques.

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.
