View-tolerant face recognition and Hebbian learning imply mirror-symmetric neural tuning to head orientation (2016, positive): “Face patches are arranged along an occipito-temporal axis (from the middle lateral (ML) and middle fundus (MF) patches, through the antero-lateral face patch (AL), and culminating in the antero-medial (AM) patch [51] (Fig.”
How does the brain solve visual object recognition? (2012, neutral): “One striking illustration of this is recent monkey fMRI work, which shows that there are three (Tsao et al., 2003) to six (Tsao et al., 2008a) or more (Ku et al., 2011) smaller regions within IT that may be involved in face ‘‘processing’’ (Tsao et al., 2008b) (also see Op de Beeck et al., 2008;…”
Different Neural Mechanisms within Occipitotemporal Cortex Underlie Repetition Suppression across Same and Different-Size Faces (2012, positive): “Recent research has identified a further face-selective area in the anterior temporal lobe (Tsao et al. 2008; Rajimehr et al. 2009), thought to be involved in the coding of individual facial identities (Kriegeskorte et al. 2007).”
A continuous semantic space describes the representation of thousands of object and action categories across the human brain (2012, background): “This region coincides with the inferior frontal sulcus face patch (Avidan et al., 2005; Tsao et al., 2008) and has also been implicated in processing of visual speech (Calvert and Campbell, 2003) and text (Poldrack et al., 1999).”
Selective for Whole Faces in the Human Amygdala (2011, background): “In humans, studies using BOLD-fMRI have demonstrated between 3 and 5 regions of cortex in the occipital, temporal, and frontal lobes that show selective activation to faces and that appear to range in encoding parts of faces, identities of faces, or changeable aspects of faces such as emotional expr”
Parcellations and hemispheric asymmetries of human cerebral cortex analyzed on surface-based atlases. (2012, methodology): “…FreeSurfer-generated surfaces and parcellations from the studies of Kolster et al. (2010), Swisher et al. (2007), Pitzalis et al. (2006), and Tsao et al. (2008); surfaces from Brewer et al. (2005) derived using mrGray (http://white.stanford.edu/~brian/mri/ segmentUnfold.htm); and…”
The social brain in psychiatric and neurological disorders (2012, neutral): “In this example, face perception is shown to rely on partly distinct processes, a finding that, together with other evidence, has been used to argue for domain-specificity [44]: face processing relies on specialized processes, which appear to be implemented by specialized regions in temporal cortex ”
Connectivity profiles reveal the relationship between brain areas for social cognition in human and monkey temporoparietal cortex (2013, background): “Studies on macaque face processing have developed localizers powerful enough to identify face patches in individuals (16), and similar localizers have been developed for human ToM (38) (http://saxelab.”
Anatomical accuracy of brain connections derived from diffusion MRI tractography is inherently limited (2014, background): “Granted, the use of animal models is somewhat limited because of interspecies differences in neuroanatomy (45, 46).”
