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

Integration of direction signals of image motion in the superior temporal sulcus of the macaque monkey
TL;DR: It is suggested that cells in the cortical area surrounding the middle temporal area (MT) in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) acquire the ability to discover whole events of visual motion by integrating elemental motion information extracted by MT cells.

Coding of image contrast in central visual pathways of the macaque monkey
TL;DR: Measurements of contrast sensitivity were obtained from isolated neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus, striate cortex, and middle temporal visual area of macaque monkeys and show that many neuron in the middle temporal area are more sensitive than any cell encountered in early stages.

Organization of visual inputs to the inferior temporal and posterior parietal cortex in macaques
TL;DR: In the prestriate cortex, labeled cells were found in V2, V3, and V4, but, in contrast to the loci labeled after parietal injections, those labeled after temporal injections were concentrated in the foveal or central field representations.

A direct quantitative relationship between the functional properties of human and macaque V5
TL;DR: The data show previously unknown Dissociations between the functional properties of human V5 and other human motion-sensitive areas, thus predicting similar dissociations for the properties of single neurons in homologous areas of macaque cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventral intraparietal area of the macaque: anatomic location and visual response properties.
TL;DR: A discrete area in the depths of the intraparietal sulcus containing neurons with response properties similar to those reported for the middle temporal area is described, called VIP, which suggests that it, like other visual areas in the dorsal stream, may be involved in the analysis of visual motion.

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.
