Magnocellular and parvocellular visual pathway contributions to visual field anisotropies
It is well established that sensitivity is not necessarily equivalent at isoeccentric locations across the visual field. The focus of this study was a psychophysical examination of the spatial sensitivity differences between the upper and lower visual hemifields under conditions biased toward the presumed magnocellular or parvocellular visual pathway. Experiment 1 showed higher contrast sensiti...
متن کاملDistinct contributions of the magnocellular and parvocellular visual streams to perceptual selection.
During binocular rivalry, conflicting images presented to the two eyes compete for perceptual dominance, but the neural basis of this competition is disputed. In interocular switch rivalry, rival images periodically exchanged between the two eyes generate one of two types of perceptual alternation: (1) a fast, regular alternation between the images that is time-locked to the stimulus switches a...
متن کاملContributions of parvocellular and magnocellular pathways to visual perception near the hands are not fixed, but can be dynamically altered.
Visual perception is altered near the hands, and several mechanisms have been proposed to account for this, including differences in attention and a bias toward magnocellular-preferential processing. Here we directly pitted these theories against one another in a visual search task consisting of either magnocellular- or parvocellular-preferred stimuli. Surprisingly, we found that when a large n...
متن کاملMagnocellular and parvocellular contributions to responses in the middle temporal visual area (MT) of the macaque monkey.
Many lines of evidence suggest that the visual signals relayed through the magnocellular and parvocellular subdivisions of the primate dorsal LGN remain largely segregated through several levels of cortical processing. It has been suggested that this segregation persists through to the highest stages of the visual cortex, and that the pronounced differences between the neuronal response propert...
متن کاملDifferential contributions of magnocellular and parvocellular pathways to the contrast response of neurons in bush baby primary visual cortex (V1).
How neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1) of primates process parallel inputs from the magnocellular (M) and parvocellular (P) layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is not completely understood. To investigate whether signals from the two pathways are integrated in the cortex, we recorded contrast-response functions (CRFs) from 20 bush baby V1 neurons before, during, and after phar...
