Faces are among the most informative stimuli we ever perceive: Even a split-second glimpse
of a person's face tells us his identity, sex, mood, age, race, and direction of attention. The …

Physiological and anatomical findings in the primate visual system, as well as clinical
evidence in humans, suggest that different components of visual information processing are …

Face perception is a skill crucial to primates. In both humans and macaque monkeys,
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) reveals a system of cortical regions that show …

Staining for the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome oxidase reveals an array of dense regions
(blobs) in the primate primary visual cortex. They are most obvious in the upper layers, 2 …

Seeing is much more complicat ed than most people realize. In this age of video films and
tele vision it is tempting to think of vision as just another way of making a pic ture, but cameras …

Several behavioral studies have shown that developmental dyslexics do poorly in tests
requiring rapid visual processing. In primates fast, low-contrast visual information is carried by …

Primate visual cortical area 18 (visual area 2), when stained for the enzyme cytochrome
oxidase, shows a pattern of alternating dark and light stripes; in squirrel monkeys, the dark …

We have isolated and mapped an X-linked recessive mutation in Drosophila that blocks
associative leaming, and have partially characterized it biochemically. The mutation affects …

Single units in the cat lateral geniculate nucleus and primary visual cortex show changes in
both spontaneous and visually evoked firing as a function of the state of wakefulness. On …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) prevents entry of most drugs into the brain and is a major
hurdle to the use of drugs for brain tumors and other central nervous system disorders. Work in …
