Shape interactions in macaque inferior temporal neurons.
Missal et al. observed that the responses of inferior temporal (IT) neurons to a shape were reduced markedly when this shape partially overlapped a larger second shape, suggesting that shape interactions determine IT responses. In the present study, we compared the responses of IT neurons with combinations of two shapes which did or did not overlap and studied the effect of the relative and abs...
متن کاملCoding of shape and position in macaque lateral intraparietal area.
The analysis of object shape is critical for both object recognition and grasping. Areas in the intraparietal sulcus of the rhesus monkey are important for the visuomotor transformations underlying actions directed toward objects. The lateral intraparietal (LIP) area has strong anatomical connections with the anterior intraparietal area, which is known to control the shaping of the hand during ...
متن کاملCoding of shape features in the macaque anterior intraparietal area.
The exquisite ability of primates to grasp and manipulate objects relies on the transformation of visual information into motor commands. To this end, the visual system extracts object affordances that can be used to program and execute the appropriate grip. The macaque anterior intraparietal (AIP) area has been implicated in the extraction of affordances for the purpose of grasping. Neurons in...
متن کاملMedial Axis Shape Coding in Macaque Inferotemporal Cortex
The basic, still unanswered question about visual object representation is this: what specific information is encoded by neural signals? Theorists have long predicted that neurons would encode medial axis or skeletal object shape, yet recent studies reveal instead neural coding of boundary or surface shape. Here, we addressed this theoretical/experimental disconnect, using adaptive shape sampli...
متن کاملSubmodality-dependent spatial organization of neurons coding for visual long-term memory in macaque inferior temporal cortex.
The inferior temporal (IT) cortex has been shown to serve as a storehouse of visual long-term memory for object shapes. However, it is currently unclear how information regarding multiple visual attributes of objects, including shape and color, is stored and retrieved in an organized way. Specifically, the question of whether information regarding different visual attributes is encoded by diffe...
