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

The Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Illusory Contour Processing: Combined High-Density Electrical Mapping, Source Analysis, and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Micah M. Murray,Glenn R. Wylie,Beth A. Higgins,Daniel C. Javitt,Charles E. Schroeder,John J. Foxe +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that IC sensitivity described in V2 and V1 may reflect predominantly feedback modulation from higher-tier LOC areas, where IC sensitivity first occurs, and two additional observations further support this proposal.

The Analysis of Visual Motion: From Computational Theory to Neuronal Mechanisms
Ellen C. Hildreth,Christof Koch +1 more
TL;DR: The kinds of insights that have been gained through computational studies are illustrated and how these observations can be integrated with experimental studies from psychology and the neurosciences to understand the particular computations used by biological systems to analyze motion.

Visual motion analysis for pursuit eye movements in area mt of macaque monkeys
TL;DR: A model was created that reproduced the dynamic responses of MT cells using divisive gain control, used the model to visualize the population response in MT to individual stimuli, and devised weighted-averaging computations to reconstruct target speed and acceleration from the populationresponse.

Directionally selective complex cells and the computation of motion energy in cat visual cortex
TL;DR: Comparisons between model and measurements suggest possible mechanisms of spatial receptive-field organization and of nonlinear transformations in the cat's striate cortex.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that species-specific vocalizations in rhesus monkeys activate preferentially the auditory ventral stream, and in particular areas of the antero-lateral belt and parabelt.

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.
