Humans are diurnal primates with high visual acuity at the center of gaze. Although primates
share many similarities in the organization of their visual centers with other mammals, and …

Increase in the area and neuron number of the cerebral cortex over evolutionary time
systematically changes its computational properties. One of the fundamental developmental …

Background Conscious vision is believed to depend upon an intact primary visual cortex
(V1), although injury in early life is often accompanied by the preservation of visual capacity …

Social-cognitive processes facilitate the use of environmental cues to understand others,
and to be understood by others. Animal models provide vital insights into the neural …

Here, we report on a previously unknown form of thalamocortical plasticity observed
following lesions of the primary visual area (V1) in marmoset monkeys. In primates, lateral …

The neuropsychological phenomenon of blindsight has been taken to suggest that the
primary visual cortex (V1) plays a unique role in visual awareness, and that extrastriate …

Injury to the primary visual cortex (V1, striate cortex) and the geniculostriate pathway in
adults results in cortical blindness, abolishing conscious visual perception. Early studies by …

The primate visual brain possesses a myriad of pathways, whereby visual information
originating at the retina is transmitted to multiple subcortical areas in parallel, before being …

The koniocellular (K) layers of the primate dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus house a variety
of visual receptive field types, not all of which have been fully characterized. Here we made …

Retinotopic specializations in the ventral visual stream, especially foveal adaptations,
provide primates with high-acuity vision in the central visual field. However, visual field …
