In an attempt to elucidate the mechanisms of directional selectivity in the neurons of the middle temporal visual area (MT) of macaque monkeys, we presented small numbers of sequentially flashed stimuli with various temporal and spatial intervals within the receptive field (RF) of direction-selectiv

We attempted to reproduce modular structures for direction selectivity characteristic of the primate middle temporal area (MT) based on our thermodynamic model for the activity-dependent self-organization of neural networks. We assumed that excitatory afferent input to MT neurons arises from V1 and/
The responses of visual movement-sensitive neurons in the anterior superior temporal polysensory area (STPa) of monkeys were studied during object-motion, ego-motion and during both together. The majority of the cells responded only to the image of a moving object against a stationary background and
Immunocytochemical techniques were used to examine the distribution of doublebouquet cells and chandelier cells that were immunoreactive (-ir) for the calcium-binding proteins calbindin (CB), calretinin (CR), and parvalbumin (PV) in the primary visual area (V1), the second visual area (V2), and cyto
