Hemispheric organization for visual object recognition: a theoretical account and empirical evidence
M Behrmann, DC Plaut - Perception, 2020 - journals.sagepub.com
Despite the similarity in structure, the hemispheres of the human brain have somewhat
different functions. A traditional view of hemispheric organization asserts that there are …

Cortical recycling in high-level visual cortex during childhood development
Human ventral temporal cortex contains category-selective regions that respond
preferentially to ecologically relevant categories such as faces, bodies, places and words …

Layer-specific, retinotopically-diffuse modulation in human visual cortex in response to viewing emotionally expressive faces
Viewing faces that are perceived as emotionally expressive evokes enhanced neural
responses in multiple brain regions, a phenomenon thought to depend critically on the …

[HTML][HTML] Intrinsic functional connectivity of the brain in adults with a single cerebral hemisphere
A reliable set of functional brain networks is found in healthy people and thought to underlie
our cognition, emotion, and behavior. Here, we investigated these networks by quantifying …

[HTML][HTML] Differential functional reorganization of ventral and dorsal visual pathways following childhood hemispherectomy
Hemispherectomy is a surgical procedure in which an entire hemisphere of a patient's brain
is resected or functionally disconnected to manage seizures in individuals with drug …

Domain Specificity vs. Domain Generality: The Case of Faces and Words
Faces and words are ever-present stimuli in social environments that require fine-grained,
efficient discrimination of their constituents in order to acquire meaning. Provided that these …

The mechanisms supporting holistic perception of words and faces are not independent
The question of whether word and face recognition rely on overlapping or dissociable neural
and cognitive mechanisms received considerable attention in the literature. In the present …

Perceptual function and category-selective neural organization in children with resections of visual cortex
The consequences of cortical resection, a treatment for humans with pharmaco-resistant
epilepsy, provide a unique opportunity to advance our understanding of the nature and …

[HTML][HTML] Early visual exposure primes future cross-modal specialization of the fusiform face area in tactile face processing in the blind
The fusiform face area (FFA) is a core cortical region for face information processing.
Evidence suggests that its sensitivity to faces is largely innate and tuned by visual …

With childhood hemispherectomy, one hemisphere can support—but is suboptimal for—word and face recognition
MC Granovetter, S Robert… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
The right and left cerebral hemispheres are important for face and word recognition,
respectively—a specialization that emerges over human development. The question is …
