  • Effects of MT lesions on visuomotor performance in macaques

    2020, Progress in Neurobiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    MT was first described in the owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus) by Allman and Kaas (1971). Homologous areas have been identified in several other species, including the Galago (Allman et al., 1973) and the squirrel monkey (Spatz et al., 1970), marmoset (Spatz and Tigges, 1972), capuchin (Fiorani et al., 1989) and rhesus (Cragg and Ainsworth, 1969; Ungerleider and Mishkin, 1979; Weller et al., 1978; Zeki, 1971; Gattass and Gross, 1981) macaques. Although MT is not located in the middle of the temporal lobe of the macaque, the term has been adopted for the present study based on the similarity of architectural features, visuotopic organization, and anatomical connections of the area.

    Citation Excerpt :

    However, lesions of the pulvinar and superior colliculus repeatedly failed to produce deficits in visual discrimination (Chow, 1951; Ungerleider & Pribram, 1977), as one might expect if the region involved in visual discrimination, namely IT cortex, relied on inputs from these subcortical structures. In 1975, Rocha-Miranda and colleagues confirmed that activation of IT cortex depends exclusively on inputs received from corticocortical connections originating in V1 (Desimone, Fleming, & Gross, 1980; Rockland & Pandya, 1979; Zeki, 1971). They found that bilateral removal of V1 obliterated all visual responses in IT neurons.

  • Imaging retinotopic maps in the human brain

    2011, Vision Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    It has been more than a century since Henschen (1893), Inouye (1909), Holmes and Lister (1916) and Holmes (1918) discovered that the spatial arrangement of the image is maintained in primary visual cortex (V1): stimuli adjacent in the visual field are represented in adjacent positions in visual cortex. More surprising than the existence of a single V1 map was the subsequent discovery that many species have multiple retinotopic maps in visual cortex (Allman & Kaas, 1971; Cowey, 1964; Gattass et al., 2005; Hubel & Wiesel, 1965; Talbot, 1940, 1942; Talbot & Marshall, 1941; Thompson, Woolsey, & Talbot, 1950; Tusa, Palmer, & Rosenquist, 1978; Zeki, 1969b, 1971, 1976), including animals like mice with very poor visual acuity (Wang & Burkhalter, 2007). The value of arranging neurons into multiple retinotopic maps, so that each location in the visual field is represented many times in cortex, calls for an explanation (Barlow, 1986).
