Modeling the Possible Influences of Eye Movements on the Refinement of Cortical Direction Selectivity [PDF]
, 2004 The second-order statistics of neural activity was examined in a model of the cat LGN and V1 during free-viewing of natural images. In the model, the specific patterns of thalamocortical activity required for a Bebbian maturation of direction-selective ...

Rehabilitation of homonymous hemianopia: insight into blindsight
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Strong evidence of considerable plasticity in primary sensory areas in the adult cortex, and of dramatic cross-modal reorganization in visual areas, after short- or long-term visual deprivation has recently been reported.

Impaired discrimination following polarisation of the striate cortex
Experimental Brain Research, 1969 Two rhesus monkeys were trained to solve a problem involving the recognition of tachistoscopically presented objects. Performance at this task was impaired by the passage of surface-positive polarising currents through the striate cortex: the impairment persisted after current was turned off, decaying in a reasonably exponential manner with a time ...

Topographic organization across foveal visual areas in macaques
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyIntroductionWhile the fovea on the retina covers only a small region of the visual field, a significant portion of the visual cortex is dedicated to processing information from the fovea being a critical center for object recognition, motion control, and

i-Perception, 2012 Population receptive field (pRF) modelling reconstructs the properties of visually responsive neuronal populations, typically using fMRI in humans. However, fMRI is an indirect measure of neural activity.

Two-photon imaging of calcium in virally transfected striate cortical neurons of behaving monkey.
PLoS ONE, 2010 Two-photon scanning microscopy has advanced our understanding of neural signaling in non-mammalian species and mammals. Various developments are needed to perform two-photon scanning microscopy over prolonged periods in non-human primates performing a ...

Multi-area visuotopic map complexes in macaque striate and extra-striate cortex
Vision Research, 2006 We propose that a simple, closed-form mathematical expression-the Wedge-Dipole mapping-provides a concise approximation to the full-field, two-dimensional topographic structure of macaque V1, V2, and V3. A single map function, which we term a map complex, acts as a simultaneous descriptor of all three areas.

A theory of a saliency map in primary visual cortex (V1) tested by psychophysics of color-orientation interference in texture segmentation [PDF]
, 2006 It has been proposed that V1 creates a bottom-up saliency map, where saliency of any location increases with the firing rate of the most active V1 output cell responding to it, regardless the feature selectivity of the cell.
