Global motion detection is impaired in cats deprived early of pattern vision
2002, Behavioural Brain ResearchBetter perception of global motion after monocular than after binocular deprivation
2002, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :This experimental condition preserves patterned input but eliminates motion signals (both signals associated with self-produced motion and motion in the environment) on the retina of both eyes. Such rearing causes marked reductions in the ability to discriminate the direction of motion of gratings, and causes a dramatic reduction in directionally-selective neurons in both the striate cortex (Cynader & Chernenko, 1976; Kennedy & Orban, 1983; Cremieux, Orban, Duysens, & Amblard, 1987) and in the lateral suprasylvian cortex––an area analogous to area MT in human and nonhuman primates (Spear, Tong, McCall, & Pasternak, 1985). Together these findings suggest that, at least in cats, reductions in the number of directionally selective neurons after motion deprivation cause deficits in the visual discrimination of the direction of motion.
