The paper examines the heritability of retinotopic maps in human visual cortex using twin pairs and finds partial genetic influence on polar angle preferences and spatial selectivity in V2 and V3.

The paper investigates how the brain represents global object perception by analyzing fMRI responses to dynamic stimuli and finds that global perception leads to non-topographic suppression in lower visual cortex and enhancement in higher object-sensitive areas.

This study examines how population receptive fields (pRFs) respond to motion-defined stimuli using fMRI, finding that retinotopic maps in higher visual areas are more pronounced for global motion compared to local motion, and that this pattern is not specific to motion-defined stimuli.
