TL;DR: It is concluded that face recognition normally depends on two systems: a holistic, face-specific system that is dependent on orientationspecific coding of second-order relational features (internal) and a part-based object-recognition system, which is damaged in CK and which contributes to face recognition when the face stimulus does not satisfy the domain-specific conditions needed to activate the face system.

TL;DR: The parietal lobe forms about 20% of the human cerebral cortex and is divided into two major regions, the somatosensory cortex and the posterior parietal cortex.

TL;DR: It is found that faces, letter strings, and words were mapped preferentially within the center-biased representation, which is compatible with the notion that center-periphery organization allows the optimal allocation of cortical magnification to the specific requirements of various recognition processes.

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests that perceptual alterations are present in ASD, independent of social function, and that a visual perceptual impairment might also contribute.

TL;DR: It is shown that disrupted synchronization is evident in the spontaneous cortical activity of naturally sleeping toddlers with autism, but not in toddlers with language delay or typical development.
