Organization of visual inputs to the inferior temporal and posterior parietal cortex in macaques

It has been proposed that visual information in the extrastriate cortex is conveyed along 2 major processing pathways, a “dorsal” pathway directed to the posterior parietal cort...

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral te...

Selective Attention Gates Visual Processing in the Extrastriate Cortex

Visual topography of area TEO in the macaque

Abstract Previous studies have mapped the visuotopic organization of visual areas from V1 through V4 in the occipital cortex and of area TE in the temporal cortex, but the corte...

Projections to the superior temporal sulcus from the central and peripheral field representations of V1 and V2

Abstract In a series of three studies, we have begun to explore the sequence of visual information processing along the pathway from striate cortex (V1), through MT, into the pa...

Multiple visual areas in the caudal superior temporal sulcus of the macaque

Abstract Anatomical and physiological evidence indicates that, in addition to area MT, much of the cortex in the caudal superior temporal sulcus (STS) of the macaque has visual ...

Visual properties of neurons in area V4 of the macaque: sensitivity to stimulus form

Area V4, a visuotopically organized area in prestriate cortex of the macaque, is the major source of visual input to the inferior temporal cortex, known to be crucial for object...

Face-Selective Cells in the Temporal Cortex of Monkeys

Abstract The notion of a neuron that responds selectively to the image of a particular complex object has been controversial ever since Gross and his colleagues reported neurons...
