Behavioral demand modulates object category representation in the inferior temporal cortex.
Visual object categorization is a critical task in our daily life. Many studies have explored category representation in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex at the level of single neurons and population. However, it is not clear how behavioral demands modulate this category representation. Here, we recorded from the IT single neurons in monkeys performing two different tasks with identical visual...

17 Object categories are recognized at multiple levels of hierarchical abstractions. 18 Psychophysical studies have shown a more rapid perceptual access to the mid-level 19 category information (e.g. human faces) than the higher (superordinate; e.g. animal) or 20 the lower (subordinate; e.g. face identity) levels. Mid-level category members share many 21 features while few features are shared b...
متن کاملRT for Object Categorization Is Predicted by Representational Distance
■ How does the brain translate an internal representation of an object into a decision about the objectʼs category? Recent studies have uncovered the structure of object representations in inferior temporal cortex (IT) using multivariate pattern analysis methods. These studies have shown that representations of individual object exemplars in IT occupy distinct locations in a high-dimensional ac...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortex function in the representation of temporally complex events.
The frontal cortex and inferior temporal cortex are strongly functionally interconnected. Previous experiments on prefrontal function in monkeys have shown that a disconnection of prefrontal cortex from inferior temporal cortex impairs a variety of complex visual learning tasks but leaves simple concurrent object-reward association learning intact. We investigated the possibility that temporal ...
متن کاملBrain regions that represent amodal conceptual knowledge.
To what extent do the brain regions implicated in semantic processing contribute to the representation of amodal conceptual content rather than modality-specific mechanisms or mechanisms of semantic access and manipulation? Here, we propose that a brain region can be considered to represent amodal conceptual object knowledge if it is supramodal and plays a role in distinguishing among the conce...
