Functional neuroimaging studies in which the cortical organization for semantic knowledge
has been addressed have revealed interesting dissociations in the recognition of different …

A review of 20 functional imaging studies that compared visual processing of natural objects
and artifacts in normal subjects is presented. The studies included fulfilled three criteria:(i) …

Brain damage can cause remarkably selective deficits in processing specific categories of
objects, indicating the high degree of functional segregation within the brain. The …

Previous research on category-specific effects in subjects with intact brains, have found a
disadvantage for the identification of natural objects compared to artefacts. This has been …

To investigate the neural correlates of the structural and semantic stages of visual object
recognition and to see whether any effects of category could be found at these stages, we …

Object perception has been a subject of extensive fMRI studies in recent years. Yet the
nature of the cortical representation of objects in the human brain remains controversial …

Are all categories of objects recognized in the same manner visually? Evidence from
neuropsychology suggests they are not: some brain damaged patients are more impaired in …

A key issue that continues to generate controversy concerns the nature of the psychological,
computational, and neural mechanisms that support the visual recognition of objects such as …

Human inferior temporal cortex contains category-selective visual regions, including the
fusiform face area (FFA) and the parahippocampal place area (PPA). These regions are …

One of the most provocative and exciting issues in cognitive science is how neural specificity
for semantic categories of common objects arises in the functional architecture of the brain …
