Background: The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the monkey has long been known to play an
essential role in visual object recognition. Damage to this area results in severe deficits in …

Previous studies have reported that some neurons in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex
respond selectively to highly specific complex objects. In the present study, we conducted …

Whereas much is known about the visual shape selectivity of neurons in the inferior
temporal cortex (ITC), less is known about the role of visual learning in the development and …

Humans are able to recognize shapes even when they are partially occluded by another
pattern. We determined whether inferior temporal (IT) units of awake rhesus monkey remain …

The inferior temporal (IT) cortex in monkeys plays a central role in visual object recognition
and learning. Previous studies have observed patches in IT cortex with strong selectivity for …

A view-invariant representation of objects in the brain would have many computational
advantages. Here we describe a population of single neurons in the temporal visual cortex …

We compared aspects of shape representation in extrastriate visual areas V2 and V4, which
are both implicated in shape processing and belong to different hierarchical levels. We …

We assessed how the visual shape preferences of neurons in the inferior temporal cortex of
awake, behaving monkeys generalized across three different stimulus transformations …

A key question concerning the perception of 3D objects is the spatial reference frame used
by the brain to represent them. The celerity of the recognition process could be explained by …

Inferior temporal (IT) cortex is critical for visual pattern recognition in adult primates.
However, the functional development of IT cortex appears to be incomplete until late in the …
