Neural bases of visual processing of moving and stationary stimuli presented to the blind hemifield of hemianopic patients

Blindsight

“…Of note, their study also did not find support for the involvement of the superior colliculus in motion processing in blindsight. In healthy individuals, the same imaging method has confirmed the existence of secondary pathways that bypass V1 and connect human motion processing regions (area V5/MT) with posterior thalamic nuclei and the superior colliculus (Lanyon et al, 2009;Pedersini et al, 2020;see Tamietto & Morrone, 2016 for an excellent recent review).…”

Resolving visual motion through perceptual gaps

“…The LIP in macaques responds strongly to apparent motion when perceived in the preferred direction of the recorded neurons [38]. There is also evidence that V1 is critical for illusory motion awareness [39][40][41], with increased activity observed along the apparent motion path [42,43]. As there is no true visual stimulation in the visual field locations corresponding to the apparent motion path, the activation in V1 must be driven by feedback connections from higher-level visual areas.…”

Tractometry of Human Visual White Matter Pathways in Health and Disease

“… 147 It is indeed possible to perform tractography between LGN and human MT+ (which is considered to be homologous to macaque MT), with considerable spatial overlap with the OR. 148 – 151 …”
