Direction-selective neurons in macaque V4
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The functional role of direction-selective (DS) neurons in the ventral pathway is unclear. We studied DS neurons in area V4 of awake macaques. Interestingly, these neurons have slower responses and lower firing rates than those non-DS neurons. In addition, direction selectivity of these neurons was stimulus-type dependent. DS neurons in V4 may play a functional role different from those typical DS neurons in V1 or MT.
