Visual function declines with age. Using extracellular single-unit in vivo recordings, we
compared the function of primary visual cortical (area 17) cells in young and old paralyzed …

Human visual function declines with age. Much of this decline is mediated by changes in the
central visual pathways. In this study we compared the spatial and temporal sensitivities of …

Functional degradation of mammalian visual cortex is associated with aging. It has been
hypothesized that much of the decline might be mediated by a degradation of cortical …

Human visual function declines with age. Much of this decline is probably mediated by
changes in the central visual pathways. We compared the stimulus selectivity of cells in …

Visual function declines with age. Much of the decline may result from functional
degradation in central visual areas. To investigate the physiological mechanisms underlying …

The receptive field properties of striate cortical (V1) cells degrade in senescent macaque
monkeys. We have now carried out extracellular single unit studies of the receptive field …

Senescence in monkeys results in a degradation of the functional properties of cortical cells
as well as prolonged hyperactivity. We have now compared the spontaneous and visually …

The current experiments measured orientation discrimination thresholds in younger (mean
age≈ 23 years) and older (mean age≈ 66 years) subjects. In Experiment 1, the contrast …

In the present study we studied the effects of aging on the coding of contrast in area V1
(primary visual cortex) and MT (middle temporal visual area) of the macaque monkey using …

Visual impairments that are not related to optical changes are not uncommon during aging,
and a number of psychophysical investigations have documented deficits in motion …
