Cereb Cortex. 7:1997;181-192 This group used the continuously moving stimulus introduced by Engel et al. [11], and used by Sereno et al. [13] and Tootell et al. [17]. In this study, the authors mapped visual areas and estimated that the linespread function of the fMRI signal (full width at half maximum) is 3.5 mm. Their data on eccentricity as a function of cortical distance are very similar to those reported in Sereno et al. [13]. of outstanding interest of special interest.

J Neurosci. 17:1997;1060-1078 Retinotopy in human visual cortex was analyzed with techniques similar to those in Sereno et al. [13], DeYoe et al. [15] and Engel et al. [16], but including thinner, impulse-like stimuli designed to reveal retinotopy in areas with larger receptive fields. A non-mirror-image area that contained both upper and lower visual fields was revealed anterior to superior, mirror-image V3. Althugh retinotopically similar to macaque V3 and V3A, the motion sensitivity of these two areas was transposed: V3 was not motion sensitive whereas V3A was. of outstanding interest.

J Neurophysiol. 77:1997;2780-2787 Human ocular dominance columns with a width (~1 mm) comparable to that reported in Horton and Stryker [21] were demonstrated using a 4 Tesla magnetic field and stimuli flashed alternately in the left and right eyes. Four 4mm slices parallel to the calcarine sulcus with an in-plane resolution of about 0.5 mm were used. This study was the first to demonstrate convincingly selective activation of individual cortical columns. of outstanding interest.

A variety of single-cone stimuli were then used to investigate the extent to which human V1 responded to color contrast. V1 was several times more sensitive to red - green contrast than to luminance contrast. The response to blue - yellow contrast was surprisngly strong, and even comparable to the luminance response. of special interest.

Neuroreport. 8:1997;3985-3991 A patient suffered a small stroke in the left right fusiform gyrus that resulted in a severe disruption of color perception, shape discrimination and contrast sensitivity, which was restricted to the upper quadrant. This finding stands in contrast to many previous reports of achromatopsia, in which deficits extended into the lower visual field. The patient's motion perception was much less affected, supporting an independent visual streams view. of special interest.

Brain. 120:1997;2229-2242 This paper demonstrates a response in inferior occipitotemporal cortex to an isoluminant color 'Mondrian' stimulus (relative to an achromatic version of the stimulus with luminance contrast) when the stimulus was restricted to both the upper visual field and the lower visual field. The lower field response suggests that this area lies beyond the lower-field-only V4v mapped by Sereno et al. [13] and Tootell et al. [17]. of outstanding interest of special interest.

Nature. 389:1997;180-183 Humans blind from an early age were compared to sighted people who also read Braille. Transcortical magnetic stimulation of occipital cortex in blind but not sighted people interfered with Braille reading. Surprisingly, occipital stimulation was more disruptive for blind subjects than stimulation near primary somatosensory cortex. These results demonstrate that early visual deprivation results in occipital cortex becoming intimately involved in processing somatosensory information. of special interest.

Nature. 389:1997;845-848 The receptive fields of VIP neurons were mapped with brief moving stimuli while a macaque fixated different points on a screen. Its head was fixed. Some neurons exhibited head-centered receptive fields (as opposed to planar gain fields) - that is, the neuron's elliptical receptive field moved relative to the retina so that it was always aimed at the same position on the screen. Given that VIP has a crude topography, it may be possible to detect these coordinate transformations in human parietal cortex with high-resolution fMRI. of outstanding interest.

52. Dale AM, Buckner RL. Selective averaging of rapidly presented individual trials using fMRI. Hum Brain Map. 5:1997;329-340 This paper describes a simple, powerful method for selectively averaging rapidly presented individual trials with fMRI. By counter-balancing stimulus order and interstimulus interval jitter, it is possible to compare the response to different event classes by a simple timepoint-by-timepoint subtraction of the event-related waveforms, despite overlapping responses. Besides the greater flexibility in experimental design, this can be a more efficient way to collect data than a blocked design because the overlap results in more effective 'recording time' for each condition (each image/timepoint contributes to multiple trial types). Trials sorted post-hoc (e.g. by response), however, would have to be subjected to explicit overlap correction (G Ganis et al., abstract in Cogn Neurosci 1997, 4:42). of outstanding interest.
