Existing models propose that primate visual cortex is divided into two functionally distinct
pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

Face perception relies on computations carried out in face-selective cortical areas. These
areas have been intensively investigated for two decades, and this work has been guided by …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

The human body, like the human face, is a rich source of socially relevant information about
other individuals. Evidence from studies of both humans and non-human primates points to …

Research on age-related cognitive change traditionally focuses on either development or
aging, where development ends with adulthood and aging begins around 55years. This …

Extensive research has demonstrated that several specialized cortical regions respond
preferentially to faces [1–6]. One such region, located in the inferior occipital gyrus, has been …

Theories of embodied cognition propose that recognizing facial expressions requires visual
processing followed by simulation of the somatovisceral responses associated with the …

A number of human brain areas showing a larger response to faces than to objects from
different categories, or to scrambled faces, have been identified in neuroimaging studies …

Abstract fMRI studies have reported three regions in human ventral visual cortex that
respond selectively to faces: the occipital face area (OFA), the fusiform face area (FFA), and …
