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

Attentional modulation of visual motion processing in cortical areas MT and MST
Stefan Treue,John H. R. Maunsell +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the responses of direction-selective neurons in monkey visual cortex are greatly influenced by attention, and that this modulation occurs as early in the cortical hierarchy as the level of the middle temporal visual area (MT).

Conjunction search revisited
Anne Treisman,Sharon Sato +1 more
TL;DR: This article explored three possible accounts based on perceptual segregation, conjunction detectors, and inhibition controlled separately by two or more distractor features for conjunctions of color, size, orientation, and direction of motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of neuronal responses in visual area MT.
TL;DR: A computational model of MT physiology, in which local image velocities are represented via the distribution of MT neuronal responses, which is performed in two stages, corresponding to neurons in cortical areas V1 and MT.

Richard T. Born,David C. Bradley +1 more
TL;DR: A synthetic overview of the rich literature on MT is attempted with the goal of answering the question, What does MT do?

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.
