TL;DR
Phenomena of contour, color and movement perception have been used to identify functions of neurons and to reveal functional differences between cortical areas that application of classical receptive-field concepts has not suggested.
Abstract
Much is known about the initial stages of visual processing up to the striate cortex, but how is visual information represented and handled at subsequent stages? Phenomena of contour, color and movement perception have been used to identify functions of neurons and to reveal functional differences between cortical areas that application of classical receptive-field concepts has not suggested. These differences can be related to theoretical stages of visual processing that provide stability of perception under changing conditions of stimulation.

650 Citations1985John M. Allman, Francis M. Miezin +1 more
The true receptive field of more than 90% of neurons in the middle temporal visual area (MT) extends well beyond the classical receptive field (crf), as mapped with conventional bar or spot stimuli, and includes a surrounding region that is 50 to 100 times the area of the crf.

647 Citations1988William T. Newsome, Robert H. Wurtz +1 more
The data suggest that cells in the middle temporal visual area and the medial superior temporal area that discharged during smooth pursuit of a dim target in an otherwise dark room may be attributable to an expansion of the receptive field that accompanies enhanced visual responses.

558 Citations1989R. von der Heydt, E. Peterhans
It is concluded that contours may be defined first at the level of V1, while the unresponsiveness of neurons in V1 to this type of anomalous contour is in agreement with linear filter predictions, the responses of V2 neurons need to be explained.

509 Citations1983Semir Zeki
The experiments described here were designed to study the extent to which the responses of single wavelength-selective cells in monkey visual cortex correlate with colours as perceived by normal human observers, and the perceived colour of a surface and the reaction of a cell to it were simultaneously determined.
Journal of NeuroscienceMechanisms of contour perception in monkey visual cortex. II. Contours bridging gaps
488 Citations1989E. Peterhans, R. von der Heydt
The contour responses in V2, the nonadditivity, and the effect of closure can be explained by the previously proposed model (Peterhans et al., 1986), assuming that the corners excite end-stopped fields orthogonal to the contours whose signals are pooled in the contour neurons.
Journal of NeurophysiologyPursuit and optokinetic deficits following chemical lesions of cortical areas MT and MST
485 Citations1988Max Dürsteler, Robert H. Wurtz
Damage to visual motion processing in MST underlies the retinotopic pursuit deficit just as it does in MT, and appears to be a sequential step in visual motionprocessing that occurs before all of the visual motion information is transmitted to the brainstem areas related to pursuit.
