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

Motion Detection Mechanisms
TL;DR: It is suggested that using a mixture of motion detection mechanisms may be advantageous to a neural system faced with the difficult, but important task of detecting motion under widely varying conditions.

Shared Sensory Estimates for Human Motion Perception and Pursuit Eye Movements
TL;DR: Comparable levels of variability throughout viewing time and across conditions provide evidence for shared noise sources in the perception and action pathways arising from a common sensory estimate.

Responses of primate area MT during the execution of optokinetic nystagmus and afternystagmus.
TL;DR: The results suggest that area MT is not part of the velocity storage mechanism and, furthermore, that the storage mechanism must be downstream of area MT in the processing of visual motion for the generation of the optokinetic nystag Mus and afternystagmus.

Feature attention for binocular disparity in primate area MT depends on tuning strength.
Douglas A. Ruff,Richard T. Born +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that, as for direction, attention to stimuli containing binocular disparity cues modulated the responses of MT neurons and that the magnitude of the modulation depended on both a neuron's tuning preferences and its tuning strength.

Encodings of implied motion for animate and inanimate object categories in the two visual pathways
Zhengang Lu,Xueting Li,Ming Meng +2 more
TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided to support integrated encoding of motion and object categories, suggesting a rethink of the relationship between the two visual pathways.

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.
