Role of Temporal Processing Stages by Inferior Temporal Neurons in Facial Recognition
In this review, we focus on the role of temporal stages of encoded facial information in the visual system, which might enable the efficient determination of species, identity, and expression. Facial recognition is an important function of our brain and is known to be processed in the ventral visual pathway, where visual signals are processed through areas V1, V2, V4, and the inferior temporal ...
متن کاملContext familiarity enhances target processing by inferior temporal cortex neurons.
Experience-dependent changes in the response properties of ventral visual stream neurons are thought to underlie our ability to rapidly and efficiently recognize visual objects. How these neural changes are related to efficient visual processing during natural vision remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate a neurophysiological correlate of efficient visual search through highly familiar object ar...
متن کاملProcessing stages underlying word recognition in the anteroventral temporal lobe.
The anteroventral temporal lobe integrates visual, lexical, semantic and mnestic aspects of word processing, through its reciprocal connections with the ventral visual stream, language areas, and the hippocampal formation. We used linear microelectrode arrays to probe population synaptic currents and neuronal firing in different cortical layers of the anteroventral temporal lobe, during semanti...
متن کاملShape interactions in macaque inferior temporal neurons.
Missal et al. observed that the responses of inferior temporal (IT) neurons to a shape were reduced markedly when this shape partially overlapped a larger second shape, suggesting that shape interactions determine IT responses. In the present study, we compared the responses of IT neurons with combinations of two shapes which did or did not overlap and studied the effect of the relative and abs...
متن کاملSpatial sensitivity of macaque inferior temporal neurons.
Recent findings in dorsal visual stream areas and computational work raise the question whether neurons at the end station of the ventral visual stream can code for stimulus position. The authors provide the first detailed, quantitative data on the spatial sensitivity of neurons in the anterior part of the inferior temporal cortex (area TE) in awake, fixating monkeys. They observed a large vari...
