TL;DR: The differential sensitivity of N170 to eyes in isolation suggests that N170 may reflect the activation of an eye-sensitive region of cortex, and the voltage distribution of N 170 over the scalp is consistent with a neural generator located in the occipitotemporal sulcus lateral to the fusiform/inferior temporal region that generates N200.

TL;DR: Single-cell recordings in monkeys, and neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies in humans, reveal that cerebral cortex in and near the superior temporal sulcus (STS) region is an important component of this perceptual system.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both faces and flowers activate large and partially overlapping regions of inferior extrastriate cortex, and a smaller region, located primarily in the right lateral fusiform gyrus, is activated specifically by faces.

TL;DR: Different regions of ventral extrastriate cortex are specialized for processing the perceptual features of faces and letterstrings, and that these regions are intermediate between earlier processing in striate and peristriates cortex, and later lexical, semantic, and associative processing in downstream cortical regions.

TL;DR: Event-related potentials evoked by visual stimuli in 98 patients in whom electrodes were placed directly upon the cortical surface to monitor medically intractable seizures are described, suggesting that the human ventral object recognition system is segregated into functionally discrete regions.
