Spatial and temporal properties of cone signals in alert macaque primary visual cortexBevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Neurosci 26:10826-46. 2006..By virtue of their specialized receptive fields, the neurons described here spatially transform the cone signals and represent the first stage in the visual system at which spatially opponent color calculations are made...
Color contrast in macaque V1Bevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Cereb Cortex 12:915-25. 2002..The remarkable degree of specialization shown by cells in V1, especially that of the double-opponent color cells, is discussed...
Color vision: mice see hue tooBevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
Curr Biol 17:R457-60. 2007..Remarkably, some of these mice use the extra cone to make trichromatic color discriminations similar to those that are the basis of human color vision...
Color architecture in alert macaque cortex revealed by FMRIBevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Cereb Cortex 16:1604-13. 2006..When taken together with single-unit studies and lesion studies, our results suggest that color depends on a connected ventral-stream pathway involving at least V1, V2, V4, and PITd...
A different point of hueBevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, 220 Longwood Avenue, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:10761-2. 2005
Neural basis for a powerful static motion illusionBevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Neurosci 25:5651-6. 2005..We demonstrate that this illusion is a static version of four-stroke apparent motion...
Colour vision: a clue to hue in v2Bevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
Curr Biol 13:R308-10. 2003..Where do our brains encode all the colours of the rainbow? We know the neural basis for colour opponency and colour contrast, and recent studies have now provided evidence for the representation of hue in cortical visual area V2...
Substructure of direction-selective receptive fields in macaque V1Margaret S Livingstone
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Neurophysiol 89:2743-59. 2003..Several explanations for the map shapes are considered, including the possibility that directional interactions are generated directly from unoriented inputs...
Contrast affects speed tuning, space-time slant, and receptive-field organization of simple cells in macaque V1Margaret S Livingstone
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
J Neurophysiol 97:849-57. 2007..We show that a simple modification of earlier models for the generation of direction-selective simple cells can account for these observations...
Psychophysical chromatic mechanisms in macaque monkeyCleo M Stoughton
Neuroscience Program, Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts 02481, and Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115
J Neurosci 32:15216-26. 2012..The results suggest that color is represented by two cardinal channels early in the processing hierarchy and many chromatic channels in brain regions closer to perceptual readout...
Receptive fields of disparity-tuned simple cells in macaque V1Doris Y Tsao
Department Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, 220 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
Neuron 38:103-14. 2003..Single cells usually showed a combination of the two, and the optimum disparity was best correlated with the sum of receptive field phase and position shift...
Space-time maps and two-bar interactions of different classes of direction-selective cells in macaque V-1Bevil R Conway
Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
J Neurophysiol 89:2726-42. 2003..We saw no consistent pattern for the spatial phase of the components, unlike previous reports; however, we show that principal components analysis may not distinguish between spatial offsets and phase offsets...
Was Rembrandt stereoblind?Margaret S Livingstone
Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115
N Engl J Med 351:1264-5. 2004
Spatiotemporal structure of nonlinear subunits in macaque visual cortexChristopher C Pack
Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University School of Medicine, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 2B4, Canada
J Neurosci 26:893-907. 2006..Much of the structure in the V1 and MT second-order kernels could be accounted for on the basis of the first-order responses of V1 simple cells, under the assumption of a Reichardt or motion-energy type of computation...
Specialized color modules in macaque extrastriate cortexBevil R Conway
Neuroscience Program, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481, USA
Neuron 56:560-73. 2007..Neither population was direction selective. These results suggest that color perception is mediated by specialized neurons that are clustered within the extrastriate brain...
Neural basis for unique huesCleo M Stoughton
Wellesley College, Wellesley, Massachusetts 02481, USA
Curr Biol 18:R698-9. 2008
Perspectives on science and artBevil R Conway
Neuroscience Program, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481, USA
Curr Opin Neurobiol 17:476-82. 2007....
