The small visual area known as MT or V5 has played a major role in our understanding of
the primate cerebral cortex. This area has been historically important in the concept of …

This article reviews the past 25years of research on eye movements (1986–2011).
Emphasis is on three oculomotor behaviors: gaze control, smooth pursuit and saccades, and …

A neglected question regarding cognitive control is how control processes might detect
situations calling for their involvement. The authors propose here that the demand for control …

Ghrelin is an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the
pituitary. Ghrelin-producing neurons are located in the hypothalamus, whereas ghrelin …

Electrophysiological studies indicate that neurons in the middle temporal (MT) area of the
primate brain are selective for the velocity of visual stimuli. This paper describes a …

Sensory information is encoded by populations of neurons. The responses of individual
neurons are inherently noisy, so the brain must interpret this information as reliably as …

This is an innovative and engaging companion to the language of memory research. It
consists of over 130 entries, bound within a coherent conceptual framework. Each entry …

Covert spatial attention produces biases in perceptual performance and neural processing
of behaviorally relevant stimuli in the absence of overt orienting movements. The neural …

Figures that can be seen in more than one way are invaluable tools for the study of the
neural basis of visual awareness, because such stimuli permit the dissociation of the neural …

A critical step in the interpretation of the visual world is the integration of the various local
motion signals generated by moving objects. This process is complicated by the fact that …
