The response properties of cells in the middle temporal area (area MT) of owl monkey visual cortex

Recordings from 178 single cells in the middle temporal area (area MT) of owl monkey showed that most cells there are orientation- and direction-selective. They also revealed that a powerful range of binocular interactions occur in area MT, with 20% of the cells being responsive to binocular stimulation only, 5% to monocular stimulation only and about 50% of all cells showing some degree of interocular interaction.
