Which brain area near the occipital lobe has been shown to become active when motion stimuli are perceived, and when the direction of an object's movement is accurately detected?

The middle temporal visual area (MT or V5) is the brain area near the occipital lobe that has been shown to become active when motion stimuli are perceived, and when the direction of an object's movement is accurately detected. The middle temporal visual area is an area of extrastriate visual cortex and it is connected to a large collection of cortical and subcortical brain regions. This area is composed of high concentration of direction-selective motion stimuli which play important roles in the perception, integration of motion and in the control of some eye movements.
