Primate V2 Receptive Fields Derived from Anatomically Identified Large-Scale V1 Inputs

Mahlega S. Hassanpour, Sam Merlin, Frederick Federer, Qasim Zaidi, Alessandra Angelucci

The paper investigates how V2 receptive fields in primates emerge from V1 inputs using anatomical tracing and functional imaging, finding that linear combinations of V1 inputs can explain V2 selectivity and texture sensitivity.

Stream-Specific Feedback Inputs to the Primate Primary Visual Cortex

Frederick Federer, Seminare Ta’afua, Sam Merlin, Mahlega S. Hassanpour, Alessandra Angelucci

This study identifies stream-specific feedback connections from V2 to V1 in macaques, showing they mirror feedforward pathways and suggest specialized modulation of V1 responses.
