Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

Much of the visual cortex is organized into visual field maps: nearby neurons have receptive
fields at nearby locations in the image. Mammalian species generally have multiple visual …

It is controversial whether the adult primate early visual cortex is sufficiently plastic to cause
visual perceptual learning (VPL). The controversy occurs partially because most VPL studies …

Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

A quarter-century ago visual neuroscientists had little information about the number and
organization of retinotopic maps in human visual cortex. The advent of functional magnetic …

The advent of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in non-human primates has
facilitated comparison of the neurobiology of cognitive functions in humans and macaque …

Although there is general agreement that the human middle temporal (MT)/V5+ complex
corresponds to monkey area MT/V5 proper plus a number of neighboring motion-sensitive …

We describe two visual field maps, lateral occipital areas 1 (LO1) and 2 (LO2), in the human
lateral occipital cortex between the dorsal part of visual area V3 and visual area V5/MT+ …

Human neuroimaging experiments typically localize motion-selective cortex (MT+) by
contrasting responses to stationary and moving stimuli. It has long been suspected that MT+ …

Though other species of primates also use tools, humans appear unique in their capacity to
understand the causal relationship between tools and the result of their use. In a …
