After the first review by Barlow (17), several other reviews during the last decade have dealt
extensively with the plasticity of the mammalian visual system and the effects of experience …

To apply the approach of forward genetics (eg, gene identification with mutagenesis and
screening, followed by positional cloning) to the mouse, it is necessary to have available …

This study examined the importance of the primate magnocellular retinocortical pathway in
the perception of moving stimuli. A portion of the magnocellular pathway was permanently …

In the present experiments three different motion discrimination tasks were studied using a
random dot pattern as stimulus: velocity discrimination, direction discrimination and …

With behavioral techniques, cats were trained to discriminate a point-light animation
sequence depicting biological motion (ie, a cat walking) from an animation sequence …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) or its immediate afferents results in a dense
scotoma, termed cortical blindness (CB). CB subjects have residual visual abilities, or …

We examined the effect of bilateral ibotenic acid lesions, aimed at areas MT/MST in three
macaques, on their perception of motion. The medial boundary of the lesions in the three …

Early deafness in humans provides a unique opportunity to examine the perceptual
consequences of altered sensory experience. In particular, visual perception in the deaf may …

Psychophysical and neurophysiological studies of responses to visual motion have
converged on a consistent set of general principles that characterize visual processing of …

Damage to the primary visual cortex typically causes cortical blindness (CB) in the hemifield
contralateral to the damaged hemisphere. Recent evidence indicates that visual training can …
