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

Single-unit analysis of pattern-motion selective properties in the middle temporal visual area (MT).
TL;DR: The idea that the middle temporal visual area in macaque extrastriate cortex contributes to a specialized type of motion processing which reflects the integrity of normal perception is supported.

Form-cue invariant motion processing in primate visual cortex.
TL;DR: When stimulated with moving patterns characterized by one of three very diverse cues for form, many middle temporal neurons exhibited similar directional tuning, and this lack of sensitivity for figural cue characteristics may allow the uniform perception of motion of objects having a broad spectrum of physical cues.

Neuronal Basis of the Motion Aftereffect Reconsidered
TL;DR: The authors found that requiring subjects to attend to motion on both motion aftereffect (MAE) and control trials produced equal levels of MT+ response, suggesting that attention may have confounded the interpretation of previous experiments; in their data, attention accounts for the entire effect.

The neurobiology of visual-saccadic decision making
TL;DR: A review of recent studies of visual-saccadic decision making, a system that is becoming a model for understanding decision making in general, that examine the neural basis of decisions, ranging from those made in predictable sensorimotor tasks to those unpredictable decisions made when animals are engaged in strategic conflict.

Processing of color, form and disparity information in visual areas VP and V2 of ventral extrastriate cortex in the macaque monkey
TL;DR: The responses of single cells to light bars of different orientation, direction of motion, speed, binocular disparity, and wavelength were systematically analyzed in areas V2 and VP of ventral extrastriate visual cortex in the macaque monkey, suggesting a significant asymmetry in the way visual information is processed in upper and lower parts of the visual field.

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.
