Neurons in inferotemporal cortex (area TE) of the monkey had visual receptive fields which
were very large (greater than 10 by 10 degrees) and almost always included the fovea.
Some extended well into both halves of the visual field, while others were confined to the
ipsilateral or contralateral side. These neurons were differentially sensitive to several of the
following dimensions of the stimulus: size and shape, color, orientation, and direction of
movement.
