▪ Abstract Binocular disparity provides the visual system with information concerning the
three-dimensional layout of the environment. Recent physiological studies in the primary …

This essay reviews major developments–empirical and theoretical–in the field of binocular
vision during the last 25years. We limit our survey primarily to work on human stereopsis …

The response of a neuron in striate cortex to an optimally configured visual stimulus is
generally reduced when the stimulus is enlarged to encroach on a suppressive region that …

In their pioneering studies of primary visual cortex, Hubel and Wiesel described the
existence of two classes of cells, which they termed “simple” and “complex”. The original …

Horizontal disparity tuning for dynamic random-dot stereograms was investigated for a large
population of neurons (n= 787) in V1 of the awake macaque. Disparity sensitivity was …

Amblyopia, a developmental disorder of spatial vision, is thought to result from a cascade of
cortical deficits over several processing stages beginning at the primary visual cortex (V1) …

Binocular rivalry and cross-orientation suppression are well-studied forms of competition in
visual cortex, but models of these two types of competition are in tension with one another …

Dissecting the functional roles of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in cortical circuits is a
fundamental goal in neuroscience. Of particular interest are their roles in emergent cortical …

Smith, Earl L., III, Yuzo M. Chino, Jinren Ni, Han Cheng, MLJ Crawford, and Ronald S.
Harwerth. Residual binocular interactions in the striate cortex of monkeys reared with …

Binocular neurons that are closely related to depth perception should respond selectively for
stimuli eliciting an appropriate depth sensation. To separate perceived depth from local …
