متن کاملVisual Processing in the Primate Brain
Vision is the most widely studied and dominant sensory system in human and nonhuman primates. Of the total surface area of the cerebral cortex roughly 50% in macaque monkey, and 20 to 30% in human, is largely or exclusively involved in visual processing (Van Essen, 2004; Van Essen & Drury, 1997). Intensive study of vision in nonhuman primates, and particularly the macaque, has produced a detail...
متن کاملInformation Processing Strategies and Pathways in the Primate Visual System
The mammalian visual pathway is an amazingly complex and intricate system, capable of processing vast amounts of sensory information for use in the precise control of both immediate and long-term behavior. In many respects, the system is very well engineered for efficient extraction and encoding of information. To give just one example, it is well known that the spacing between photoreceptors i...
متن کاملUnderstanding primate brain evolution.
We present a detailed reanalysis of the comparative brain data for primates, and develop a model using path analysis that seeks to present the coevolution of primate brain (neocortex) and sociality within a broader ecological and life-history framework. We show that body size, basal metabolic rate and life history act as constraints on brain evolution and through this influence the coevolution ...
متن کاملBrain monoamines and early visual information-processing speed.
Visual inspection time (IT) is a measure of information-processing speed, which correlates reliably with psychometric intelligence. Pharmacological research into IT indicates that manipulation of the cholinergic system modulates performance on the IT task, however the contribution of other neurotransmitters to this modality remains unclear. This study was designed to examine the effects of low ...
