Effective connectivity from early visual cortex to posterior occipitotemporal face areas supports face selectivity and predicts developmental prosopagnosia
Face processing is mediated by interactions between functional areas in the occipital and
temporal lobe, and the fusiform face area (FFA) and anterior temporal lobe play key roles in …

Mapping of craniofacial traits in outbred mice identifies major developmental genes involved in shape determination
The vertebrate cranium is a prime example of the high evolvability of complex traits. While
evidence of genes and developmental pathways underlying craniofacial shape …

Social origins of cortical face areas
Recently acquired fMRI data from human and macaque infants provide novel insights into
the origins of cortical networks specialized for perceiving faces. Data from both species …

An atlas of cortical arealization identifies dynamic molecular signatures
The human brain is subdivided into distinct anatomical structures, including the neocortex,
which in turn encompasses dozens of distinct specialized cortical areas. Early …

Right but not left hemispheric discrimination of faces in infancy
The ontogeny of the functional asymmetries of the human brain is poorly understood. Are
they a consequence of differential development based on competition mechanisms, or are …

Facial phenotypes in subgroups of prepubertal boys with autism spectrum disorders are correlated with clinical phenotypes
K Aldridge, ID George, KK Cole, JR Austin… - Molecular autism, 2011 - Springer
Background The brain develops in concert and in coordination with the developing facial
tissues, with each influencing the development of the other and sharing genetic signaling …

Facial fluctuating asymmetry is not associated with childhood ill-health in a large British cohort study
The idea that symmetry in facial traits is associated with attractiveness because it reliably
indicates good physiological health, particularly to potential sexual partners, has generated …

Family income, parental education and brain structure in children and adolescents
Socioeconomic disparities are associated with differences in cognitive development. The
extent to which this translates to disparities in brain structure is unclear. We investigated …
