According to neuropsychological evidence, a distributed network of regions of the ventral visual pathway–from the lateral occipital cortex to the temporal pole–supports face …
Neuroimaging studies have identified at least two bilateral areas of the visual extrastriate cortex that respond more to pictures of faces than objects in normal human subjects in the …

Compared to objects, pictures of faces elicit a larger early electromagnetic response at occipito-temporal sites on the human scalp, with an onset of 130 ms and a peak at about …
Neuroimaging and electrophysiological studies across species have confirmed bilateral face- selective responses in the ventral temporal cortex (VTC) and prosopagnosia is reported in …
Two regions in the human occipito-temporal cortex respond preferentially to faces:'the fusiform face area'('FFA') and the 'occipital face area'('OFA'). Whether these areas have a …
Congenital prosopagnosia is a severe impairment in face identification manifested from early childhood in the absence of any evident brain lesion. In this study, we used fMRI to …
There is growing consensus that accurate and efficient face recognition is mediated by a neural circuit composed of a posterior “core” and an anterior “extended” set of regions. Here …
The middle fusiform gyrus (MFG) and the inferior occipital gyrus (IOG) are activated by both detection and identification of faces. Paradoxically, patients with acquired prosopagnosia …
This commentary focuses on the past and present contributions of the study of acquired prosopagnosia to our understanding of the cortical face network presented by Alumit Ishai …
