Curvature-preferring neurons in monkey V4 cluster into 0.5-mm patches, which highlights the importance of curvature detection in visual object recognition and the key functional role of V4 in this process.
Functional neuroimaging reveals sensitivity to shape information and correlation between brain activation and perceptual behaviour in both dorsal and ventral visual pathways, thereby challenging the strict binary distinctions between the two pathways.

To accurately represent object position in real time, the human visual system predictively encodes the location of moving objects, compensating for the time required for transmission and processing of information.

Neural recordings in monkey IT show that the primate visual system transforms object representations into a reference frame aligned with gravity and independent of how the head and eyes are tilted.

Bilateral removal of cortical area 'TE' produced deficits in monkeys' ability to discriminate among images with many similar features, whereas removal of subjacent rhinal cortex did not.
Peripheral retinal input transiently amplifies information transmission from ganglion cells, dynamically allocating the resources of neural activity to times of expected high information content.
High-level visual cortex and leading neural network models of the visual system retain information about multiple visual scene variables in independent, non-interfering dimensions of their population codes.
