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

Stimulus uncertainty affects velocity discrimination
TL;DR: The results indicate that the psychophysical mechanisms underlying velocity discrimination are not spatial-frequency specific, but are turned to the velocity or speed of the stimulus.

Layer specificity of inputs from supplementary motor area and dorsal premotor cortex to primary motor cortex in macaque monkeys.
TL;DR: The present data indicate that distinct types of motor information are arranged in M1 in a layer-specific fashion to be orchestrated through a microcircuit within M1.

The Art of Grid Fields: Geometry of Neuronal Time.
TL;DR: This manuscript provides a novel interpretation on the phenomenon of grid fields, from the perspective of coupled oscillators, postulating that grid fields are the spatial representation of phase resetting curves in the brain.

Nested Maps in Macaque Monkey Visual Cortex
TL;DR: The cerebral cortex is a flat sheet of neurons, roughly 2 mm thick in humans and other primates, which exhibits regional specialization largely on the basis of its inputs and outputs.

Short-term saccadic adaptation in the macaque monkey: a binocular mechanism
Kevin P. Schultz,C. Busettini +1 more
TL;DR: Striking dynamical similarities are found between visually driven combined saccade-vergence gaze transfers, where the disparity is given by the visual targets, and the double-step adaptive disconjugate responses, where an adaptive disparity signal is generated internally by the saccadic system.

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.
