    Most primary visual cortex neurons in macaque monkeys respond to both visual stimuli and self-motion. However, a small percentage can distinguish real object motion from self-induced retinal image displacement.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Visual Neuroscience
    • Primate Vision

    Background:

    • The primary visual cortex (V1) processes visual information.
    • Understanding how V1 neurons interpret motion is crucial for visual perception.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether neurons in the macaque monkey's primary visual cortex can differentiate between actual object motion and self-induced retinal image motion.

    Main Methods:

    • Extracellular recordings were performed on neurons in the primary visual cortex of behaving macaque monkeys.
    • Neuronal responses were measured during two conditions: visual stimulus movement across a stationary receptive field, and receptive field movement across a stationary stimulus.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 123 cells studied, 111 responded to visual stimulation in both fixation and tracking conditions.

  • A subset of 12 cells showed significantly weakened responses during self-induced retinal image motion compared to external stimulus motion.

    • Conclusions:

    • A small proportion of striate neurons in macaque monkeys possess the ability to discriminate between real object motion and self-motion-generated retinal image displacement.
    • This suggests a neural mechanism for distinguishing external visual events from self-generated sensory input in primate V1.
