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

Functional anatomy of inner speech and auditory verbal imagery
Philip McGuire,David Silbersweig,Robin M. Murray,Anthony S. David,Richard S. J. Frackowiak,Chris D. Frith +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the neural correlates of inner speech and of auditory verbal imagery were examined in normal volunteers, using positron emission tomography (PET) in order to examine the neural networks associated with these two tasks.

Neural mechanisms for forming a perceptual decision.
Carl Salzman,William T. Newsome +1 more
TL;DR: The data suggest a mechanism in which monkeys chose the direction encoded by the largest signal in the representation of motion direction, a "winner-take-all" decision process.

Distinctions between manipulation and function knowledge of objects: evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging.

TL;DR: This account predicts that answering questions about object manipulation should activate brain regions previously identified as components of the distributed sensory-motor system involved in object use, whereas answering Questions about object function should activate regions identified as component of the systems supporting verbal-declarative features.

Higher Order Visual Processing in Macaque Extrastriate Cortex
TL;DR: The extrastriate cortex of primates encompasses a substantial portion of the cerebral cortex and is devoted to the higher order processing of visual signals and their dispatch to other parts of the brain.

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.
