For example, ''lesion'' to the V5 leads to deficits in perceiving motion and processing of complex stimuli. It contains many neurons selective for the motion of complex visual features (line ends, corners). ''Microstimulation'' of a neuron located in the V5 affects the perception of motion. For example, if one finds a neuron with preference for upward motion in a monkey's V5 and stimulates it with an electrode, then the monkey becomes more likely to report 'upward' motion when presented with stimuli containing 'left' and 'right' as well as 'upward' components.<ref name="BrittenVanWezel">{{cite journal | title=Electrical microstimulation of cortical area MST biases heading perception in monkeys |vauthors=Britten KH, van Wezel RJ | journal=Nature Neuroscience | year=1998 | volume=1 | issue=1 | pages=59–63 | pmid=10195110 | doi=10.1038/259|s2cid=52820462 }}</ref>
