Three-dimensional ultrastructural differences between thalamic and non-thalamic recipient layers in macaque V1

The paper quantitatively compares synaptic structures in thalamic and non-thalamic layers of primate V1, revealing differences in bouton architecture and synaptic efficacy.

Neuronal composition of processing modules in human V1: laminar density for neuronal and non-neuronal populations and a comparison with macaque

The paper compares neuronal density and laminar composition between human and macaque V1, finding human V1 has lower neuronal density but higher total neuron count in functional units.

Contrast and luminance gain control in the macaque's lateral geniculate nucleus

The paper investigates how neurons in the macaque's lateral geniculate nucleus adapt to changes in contrast and luminance, finding distinct responses in magnocellular and parvocellular layers.

A theory of direction selectivity for Macaque primary visual cortex

The paper proposes a theory explaining direction selectivity in Macaque V1 by analyzing ON/OFF pathway dynamics and LGN-to-cortex wiring.

Distinct spatiotemporal mechanisms underlie extra-classical receptive field modulation in macaque V1 microcircuits

The paper identifies three distinct spatiotemporal mechanisms of eCRF modulation in macaque V1 microcircuits and shows how they differ across layers and processing streams.

Functional clusters of neurons in layer 6 of macaque V1

The paper identifies multiple functional clusters of neurons in layer 6 of macaque V1 based on their response to visual stimuli, revealing distinct sub-populations with different visual properties.
