The brain location, extent and functional organization of the cortical visual area V6A was investigated in macaque monkeys by using single cell recording techniques in awake, behaving animals. Six hemispheres of
we exploited the fact that neurons in several areas of the visual cortex have well-defined, small receptive fields18,29. After mice had learned categorizing stimuli at a specific position in their visual field (26° azimuth), we proceeded with repeated sessions in which the stimulus position ...
Sensory cortices can be affected by stimuli of multiple modalities and are thus increasingly thought to be multisensory. For instance, primary visual cortex (V1) is influenced not only by images but also by sounds. Here we show that the activity evoked b
Electrodes can be placed on the surface of the visual cortex (subdural) or inserted into the brain tissue (intracortical). Two key pioneers in the development of cortical bionic vision prostheses were Giles Brindley and William Dobelle (Brindley and Lewin, 1968; Dobelle and Mladejovsky, 1974; ...

Evoked potentials could still be recorded from V1 in these animals, showing that the visual cortex was active. The finding is somewhat related to the report of a lesion to the extrastriate areas such that V1 seemed isolated from the rest of the brain (Bodis-Wollner, Atkin, Raab & ...
