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... - Color architecture in alert macaque cortex revealed by FMRIBevil R Conway
