Population coding of facial information in the monkey superior colliculus and p...
Nguyen, Huy Hoang; Nishimaru, Hiroshi; Matsumoto, Jumpei; Le, Quan Van; Hori, Etsuro; Maior, Rafael Plakoudi Souto; Tomaz, Carlos Alberto BezerraThe superior colliculus (SC) and pulvinar are thought to function as a subcortical visual pathway that bypasses the striate cortex and detects fundamental facial information. We previously investigated neuronal responses in the SC and pulvinar of monkeys during a delayed nonmatching-to-sample task, in which the monkeys were required to discriminate among 35 facial photos of five models and other categories of v...
Snakes elicit earlier, and monkey faces, later, gamma oscillations in macaque p...
Le, Quan Van; Isbell, Lynne A.; Matsumoto, Jumpei; Le, Van Quang; Nishimaru, Hiroshi; Hori, Etsuro; Maior, Rafael Plakoudi Souto; Tomaz, CarlosGamma oscillations (30–80 Hz) have been suggested to be involved in feedforward visual information processing, and might play an important role in detecting snakes as predators of primates. In the present study, we analyzed gamma oscillations of pulvinar neurons in the monkeys during a delayed non-matching to sample task, in which monkeys were required to discriminate 4 categories of visual stimuli (snakes, mon...
