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

Computing heading in the presence of moving objects: a model that uses motion-opponent operators.
TL;DR: A theoretical argument that motion differences can account for the direction of bias seen in humans is presented and the responses of a computer simulation of a model for computing heading that uses motion-opponent operators similar to cells in the primate middle temporal visual area are examined.

Shift in smooth pursuit initiation and MT and MST neuronal activity under different stimulus conditions.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the differences in the oculomotor behavior can be accounted for by shifts in the overlap of active neuronal populations within MT and MST.

Feature-based attention enhances performance by increasing response gain
TL;DR: Results for feature-based attention clearly differ from results of analogous experiments with spatial attention, yet both support key predictions of the normalization model of attention.

Computing with Continuous Attractors: Stability and Online Aspects
Si Wu,Shun-ichi Amari +1 more
TL;DR: This study modified the conventional network model by including extra dynamical interactions between neurons, which effectively implements online Bayesian inference and reveals some interesting behavior in neural population coding, such as the trade-off between decoding stability and the speed of tracking time-varying stimuli.

Responses of Neurons of the Nucleus of the Optic Tract and the Dorsal Terminal Nucleus of the Accessory Optic Tract in the Awake Monkey
Uwe J. Ilg,Klaus-Peter Hoffmann +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the NOT/DTN is an essential structure for the processing of the direction and speed of retinal image slip during horizontal optokinetic nystagmus but also during pursuit eye movements.

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.
