The shifter hypothesis is consistent with available anatomical and physiological evidence on the organization of the primate visual pathway, and it offers a sensible explanation for a variety of otherwise puzzling facts, such as the plethora of cells in the geniculorecipient layers of V1.
The Journal of Comparative NeurologyRepresentation pattern in the second somatic sensory area of the monkey cerebral cortex
282 Citations1980David P. Friedman, Elizabeth Jones +1 more
The second somatic sensory area (SII), as identified in terms of cytoarchitecture and its connection with the thalamic ventrobasal complex, is the only region of the lateral sulcus to receive a projection from SI.
Journal of NeuroscienceThe effects of parvocellular lateral geniculate lesions on the acuity and contrast sensitivity of macaque monkeys
282 Citations1991WH Merigan, Lisa M. Katz +1 more
It is demonstrated that the parvocellular pathway dominates chromatic vision, acuity, and contrast detection at low temporal and high spatial frequencies, while the magnocellularpathway may mediate contrast Detection at higher temporal and lower spatial frequencies.
Journal of Cognitive NeuroscienceWhy Does the Brain Have So Many Visual Areas?
262 Citations1989Jon H. Kaas
Increasing the number of visual or other cortical areas is an effective and apparently common mechanism for evolving new capacities in mammals.

The Journal of Comparative NeurologyCallosal and intrahemispheric connectivity of the prefrontal association cortex in rhesus monkey: Relation between intraparietal and principal sulcal cortex
261 Citations1984Michael L. Schwartz, Patricia S. Goldman‐Rakic
Quantitative analysis indicates that the posterior parietal cortex and the prefrontal cortex form part of an integrated neural system important for spatiotemporal behaviors and associational and callosal neurons in prefrontal cortex are distinct cell populations with strikingly similar organization.
Journal of NeuroscienceConnections between layer 4B of area 17 and the thick cytochrome oxidase stripes of area 18 in the squirrel monkey
253 Citations1987Margaret S. Livingstone, DH Hubel
It is reported that, in the squirrel monkey, the main input to the thick stripes from area 17 arises from layer 4B, which probably belongs to the magnocellular subdivision of the visual pathway.

The Journal of Comparative NeurologyCorticocortical connections of area 2 of somatosensory cortex in macaque monkeys: A correlative anatomical and electrophysiological study
243 Citations1986T. P. Pons, Jon H. Kaas
The cortical connections of electrophysiologically identified locations in the body representations in somatosensory cortex of macaque monkeys were investigated after injections of horseradish peroxidase, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), tritiated WGA, ortritiated proline.
The Journal of Comparative NeurologyCortico‐cortical connections of somatic sensory cortex (areas 3, 1 and 2) in the rhesus monkey
233 Citations1978Brent A. Vogt, Deepak Ν. Pandya
The connections of areas 3, 1 and 2 in the postcentral gyrus of the rhesus monkey are investigated using ablation‐degeneration techniques following both full depth lesions and lesions which involved fewer than six cortical layers to reveal each of these areas has a differential connection pattern.
The Journal of Comparative NeurologyCorticocortical connections among visual areas in the cat
231 Citations1984Laura L. Symonds, Alan C. Rosenquist
The cortical interconnections of 17 visual areas in the cat were studied by making single injections through recording micropipettes of the neuroanatomical tracers 3H‐leucine and horseradish peroxidase into the visual cortex of 40 adult animals.
The Journal of Comparative NeurologyCorticothalamic connections of the posterior parietal cortex in the rhesus monkey
231 Citations1985Edward H. Yeterian, Deepak Ν. Pandya
The observations indicate that the rostral superior parietal lobule (SPL) is connected with the ventroposterolateral (VPL) thalamic nucleus, and the caudal SPL and the midportion of IPL show projections mainly to the lateral posterior (LP) and oral pulvinar (PO) nuclei.

The Journal of Comparative NeurologyComparison of the efferents of the amygdala and the hippocampal formation in the rhesus monkey: II. Reciprocal and non‐reciprocal connections
211 Citations1988Richard C. Saunders, Douglas L. Rosene +1 more
The pattern of direct connections between the amygdala and the hippocampal formation in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) was delineated by using both anterograde and retrograde tract‐tracing techniques.
Behavioural Brain ResearchThe performance of visual tasks while segments of the inferotemporal cortex are suppressed by cold
211 Citations1987James A. Horel, Dorothy E. Pytko-Joiner +2 more
Cold was used to suppress the function of subdivisions of the inferotemporal cortex in monkey faces and produced a deficit in an animal with a small lesion in the ventral pole and anterior extreme of itg.
Journal of NeurophysiologyRelation of cortical areas MT and MST to pursuit eye movements. III. Interaction with full-field visual stimulation
208 Citations1988Hidehiko Komatsu, Robert H. Wurtz
During pursuit against a lighted background, the cells that showed opposite preferred directions for large-field stimulation and pursuit had synergistic responses--a facilitation of the pursuit response over the response during pursuit in the dark.

207 Citations1988SH Hendry, EG Jones +2 more
Differences among species include variations in cell density and distribution when a given cortical area or thalamic nucleus is compared between cats and monkeys.
