“…Initial studies showed changes in the tuning of macaque V1 and V4 neurons after extensive training in a fine orientation discrimination task (Raiguel, Vogels, Mysore, & Orban, 2006;Yang & Maunsell, 2004;Schoups, Vogels, Qian, & Orban, 2001) with smaller and less consistent effects across studies in V1 (Ghose, Yang, & Maunsell, 2002;Schoups et al, 2001). However, studies in dorsal stream areas, middle temporal and medial superior temporal, showed no perceptual learning effects on neural tuning or response strength during direction (Law & Gold, 2008), heading (Gu et al, 2011), or depth discrimination tasks (Uka, Sasaki, & Kumano, 2012). In these areas, the correlation between behavioral choices and neural responses increased during early task learning for depth discrimination (Uka et al, 2012) and during direction discrimination learning (Law & Gold, 2008), which may suggest that the learning to discriminate involves a reweighting of the stable visual cortical signals that are used to form the perceptual decision (Law & Gold, 2009).…”
