A substantial amount of data has been accumulated concerning the role of feedback from the higher-order visual areas on the responses of V1 neurons (for review see Gilbert and Li, 2013). However, very little is known about the role of feedback from the higher-order visual areas on the responses of neurons in the intermediate areas and putative role played by those areas in shaping the exchange of information between the higher-order areas and V1. Thus, in the present study, we examined the effects of reversible inactivation by transient cooling to 10°C of ipsilateral PTV cortex, on the responses of neurons located in the intermediate part of pattern/form information processing stream—area 19. In a substantial proportion of these cells, PTV inactivation affected the magnitude of responses to optimal and peri-optimal visual stimuli and/or induced upward changes in velocity preferences and direction selectivity indices (DSIs), that is, the properties which are thought to be determined by the properties of their dorsal thalamic and/or feedforward cortical inputs.
