In 1988, Willian T. Newsome and Edmond B. Paré have conducted a research on motion perception. One of the goals of their research was to find out the importance of the middle temporal area in mammals’ brains. In order to achieve this goal, they had to use nonhuman primates for the fact that monkeys’ brains are closely similar to the human brains. In their released article, the researchers explained point by point how they proceeded such experiment and also left possibilities for future research. Newsome and Paré trained a group of monkeys on how to identify motion by looking at dots in motion. They started the experiment lesioning the brains of the monkeys by injecting a small amount of neurotoxin, ibotenic acid in MT. According
