Disconnexion syndromes in animals and man

TL;DR: This paper would never have been written without Professor Zangwill’s urging, and I am grateful to him for having brought me to a more careful review of the older literature and a more precise statement of my own ideas.

A direct demonstration of functional specialization in human visual cortex

TL;DR: PET is used to demonstrate directly the specialization of function in the normal human visual cortex, and provides direct evidence to show that, just as in the macaque monkey, different areas of the human prestriate visual cortex are specialized for different attributes of vision.

Visual capacity in the hemianopic field following a restricted occipital ablation.

TL;DR: Recent animal results suggest strongly that a severe penalty is inflicted when damage to neighbouring posterior cortical areas is added to that of the striate cortex, and human cases in which damage is relatively restricted to area 17, with only minimal damage to surrounding tissue have a renewed interest.

Visual Field Maps in Human Cortex

TL;DR: Recent measurements of human visual field maps are surveyed, hypotheses about the function and relationships between maps are described, and methods to improve map measurements and characterize the response properties of neurons comprising these maps are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two mechanisms of vision in primates.

TL;DR: The visual mechanisms of the brain are examined to test the idea that vision involves two parallel processes; one ambient, determining space at large around the body, the other focal which examines detail in small areas of space.
