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

Area-Specific Mapping of Binocular Disparity across Mouse Visual Cortex
TL;DR: Clear differences in neurons' preferred disparities across areas are found, suggesting that higher visual area RL is specialized for encoding visual stimuli very close to the mouse, likely reflecting an adaptation to natural image statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent history of stimulus speeds affects the speed tuning of neurons in area MT.
TL;DR: It is concluded that speed-dependent adaptation creates a strong influence of temporal context on the MT response and thereby results in the representation of acceleration signals.

Opposite Dependencies on Visual Motion Coherence in Human Area MT+ and Early Visual Cortex
TL;DR: It is concluded that motion coherence is reflected in the population response of human extrastriate cortex and suggested that the occipital alpha activity represents a gating mechanism protecting visual motion integration in later cortical areas from disturbing upcoming signals.

Moving objects appear to slow down at low contrasts
TL;DR: Motion signals in the early parts of the visual system are profoundly altered by stimulus luminance and contrast, which suggests that motion is coded by the relative firing rates of neural channels tuned to fast and slow motion, with contrast-dependence being a motion analog of the Bezold-Brucke hue shift.

Architecture of the Cerebral Cortex
Karl Zilles,Katrin Amunts +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the structural organization of the cerebral cortex and its segregation into cortical areas and provides an overview of different cortical types from evolutionary and microscopical/histological perspectives.

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.
