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

The organization of spatial coding in the hippocampus: a study of neural ensemble activity.
TL;DR: The organization of multiple, clustered place fields with correlated movement tuning properties in small neural ensemble suggests the existence of functional neural ensembles serving to encode multiple sensory and behavioral aspects of a place or event.

Generation of smooth-pursuit eye movements: neuronal mechanisms and pathways
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge of the primate smooth-pursuit system is reviewed, with the emphasis on the neuronal mechanisms and pathways that control pursuit eye movements in the monkey.

Magnocellular and parvocellular contributions to the responses of neurons in macaque striate cortex
TL;DR: The results argue against a direct mapping of the subcortical magnocellular and parvocellular pathways onto the parietal and temporal streams of processing in cortex.

The influence of fixational eye movements on the response of neurons in area MT of the macaque
Wyeth Bair,Lawrence P. O'keefe +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between eye movements and neuronal responses recorded from area MT in alert monkeys trained to maintain visual fixation during the presentation of moving patterns suggests that motion perception is not blocked during saccades by suppression at early stages in the visual pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal or vertical optokinetic stimulation activates visual motion-sensitive, ocular motor and vestibular cortex areas with right hemispheric dominance. An fMRI study.
TL;DR: In this paper, the same multiple visual, ocular motor and vestibular cortical and subcortical areas were activated during horizontal and vertical small-field optokinetic stimulation with and without fixation suppression.

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.
