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

Motion-onset visual-evoked potentials as a function of retinal eccentricity in man
TL;DR: The motion-onset VEP is distinct from the pattern-reversal VEP, the amplitude of which decreases much more rapidly with retinal eccentricity; hence, it may involve different generating structures of the brain.

The effect of a moving distractor on the initiation of smooth-pursuit eye movements
TL;DR: The results are consistent with a competitive model for smooth-pursuit target selection and suggest that the competition takes place at a stage of the pursuit pathway that is between visual-motion processing and motor-response preparation.

Selectivity for three-dimensional contours and surfaces in the anterior intraparietal area.
TL;DR: The neural selectivity for object depth profile in AIP is present when only the boundary is curved in depth, but not for disparity in anticorrelated stereograms.

Visual Processing in Macaque Area MT/V5 and Its Satellites (MSTd and MSTv)
TL;DR: The physiology of macaque visual cortex, and particularly of area MT/V5 and its satellites, has been a major source of inspiration for recent human functional imaging work, and the homologues of MT/v5 and MST in humans will be briefly discussed.

Magnetic response of human extrastriate cortex in the detection of coherent and incoherent motion.
Khanh Lam,Yoshiki Kaneoke,Atsuko Gunji,Hiroshi Yamasaki,Eriko Matsumoto,Tomoyuki Naito,Ryusuke Kakigi +6 more
TL;DR: Findings show that the speed of incoherent motion is represented in the human extrastriate cortex neurons to the same degree as coherent motion, and considers that the human visual system has a distinct neural mechanism to perceive random dots' motion even though they do not move in a specific direction as a whole.

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.
