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

A Biologically Inspired System for Action Recognition
TL;DR: The approach builds on recent work on object recognition based on hierarchical feedforward architectures and extends a neurobiological model of motion processing in the visual cortex and finds that sparse features in intermediate stages outperform dense ones and that using a simple feature selection approach leads to an efficient system that performs better with far fewer features.

Segregation of form, color, and stereopsis in primate area 18.
TL;DR: The physiological properties of the cells in the thin and pale stripes reflect the properties of their antecedent cells in 17, but nevertheless exhibit differences that suggest the kinds of processing that might occur at this stage.

Deficits in visual motion processing following ibotenic acid lesions of the middle temporal visual area of the macaque monkey.
TL;DR: Results provide the first behavioral evidence that neural processing in MT contributes to the cortical analysis of visual motion.

Analysis of local and wide-field movements in the superior temporal visual areas of the macaque monkey
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the responses of a bar, of a wide dot pattern, and to combined movements of the two in anesthetized and immobilized animals and found that the effective area for inhibition occupied a wide area, which expanded in all radial directions.

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.
