Scene Areas in Humans and Macaques
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Kornblith et al. (2013) identify two regions in macaque occipitotemporal cortex that encode both spatial and nonspatial aspects of visual scenes and might be the homolog of the human parahippocampal place area.

A Flicker Change Detection Task Reveals Object-in-Scene Memory Across Species
Tests of recognition memory in macaques typically assay memory for objects or isolated images, over time spans of seconds to hours from stimulus presentation, and/or require extensive training. Here, we propose a new application of the flicker change detection task that could measure object-in-scene memory days after single-trial exposures. In three experiments, participants searched for a chan...
متن کاملFunctional evolution of new and expanded attention networks in humans.
Macaques are often used as a model system for invasive investigations of the neural substrates of cognition. However, 25 million years of evolution separate humans and macaques from their last common ancestor, and this has likely substantially impacted the function of the cortical networks underlying cognitive processes, such as attention. We examined the homology of frontoparietal networks und...

bstract—In this study, we assessed the possibility that huans differ from other primate species in the supply of doamine to the frontal cortex. To this end, quantitative comarative analyses were performed among humans, chimpanees, and macaques using immunohistochemical methods to isualize tyrosine hydroxylase–immunoreactive axons within he cerebral cortex. Axon densities and neuron densities er...
متن کاملComparing face patch systems in macaques and humans.
Face recognition is of central importance for primate social behavior. In both humans and macaques, the visual analysis of faces is supported by a set of specialized face areas. The precise organization of these areas and the correspondence between individual macaque and human face-selective areas are debated. Here, we examined the organization of face-selective regions across the temporal lobe...
متن کاملSocial Interactions through the Eyes of Macaques and Humans
Group-living primates frequently interact with each other to maintain social bonds as well as to compete for valuable resources. Observing such social interactions between group members provides individuals with essential information (e.g. on the fighting ability or altruistic attitude of group companions) to guide their social tactics and choice of social partners. This process requires indivi...
