Neuroimaging research over the past decade has revealed a detailed picture of the
functional organization of the human brain. Here we focus on two fundamental questions …

Here, we review recent results that investigate the development of the human ventral stream
from childhood, through adolescence and into adulthood. Converging evidence suggests a …

Face recognition is of central importance for primate social behavior. In both humans and
macaques, the visual analysis of faces is supported by a set of specialized face areas. The …

Since Ungerleider and Mishkin [Underleider LG, Mishkin M (1982) Two cortical visual
systems. Analysis of Visual Behavior, eds Ingle MA, Goodale MI, Masfield RJW (MIT Press …

Humans rely heavily on shape similarity among objects for object categorization and
identification. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have shown that …

Visual analysis of faces and nonfacial body stimuli brings about neural activity in different
cortical areas. Moreover, processing body form and body action relies on distinct neural …

The ability to detect emotional meaning in others' behavior constitutes a central component
of social competence. Expressions of anger in particular present salient signals that play a …

The present study aimed to further explore the mechanisms underlying the perception of
human body shapes. Behavioral and electrophysiological inversion effects were studied for …

Most investigations of object recognition have focused on the form rather than the material
properties of objects. Nevertheless, knowledge of the material properties of an object (via its …

Recent studies have reported that functional subdivisions of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)
may be selectively responsible for conflict and error-related processing. We examined this …
