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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement and proximity constrain miscombinations of colour and form.
TL;DR: In three experiments it was examined whether the Gestalt grouping principle applies to grouping by motion, and to grouped by proximity, and whether miscombinations of colour and form tend to come from the same perceptual group.

Responses of Neurons in the Medial Superior Temporal Visual Area to Apparent Motion Stimuli in Macaque Monkeys
TL;DR: It is suggested that a vector-averaging computation transforms MT's place code for target speed into the rate code of some MST neurons, which shows monotonically increasing firing rates as a function of smooth stimulus speed and responses to apparent motion that paralleled a previously discovered illusion where estimates of target speed increase with the value of Deltat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the macaque superior temporal sulcus: functional delineation of vergence and version eye-movement-related activity.
TL;DR: It is concluded that producing categorically different eye movement types requires access to a common STS network and that individual network nodes are recruited differentially based upon the type of movement generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of monocular motion signals and the analysis of interocular velocity differences for the perception of motion-in-depth
TL;DR: The results suggest that the IOVD is calculated at a relatively later stage of themotion analysis, and that some monocular information is preserved even after the integration of the motion SF channel outputs.

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.
