Mesial temporal neurons in the macaque monkey with responses selective for aspects of social stimuli.

Brian Ring

TLDR
Primates possess a sophisticated cognitive ability to interpret and respond to the social actions of conspecifics, and pathways which integrate such information converge in mesial temporal regions.

The amygdala: vigilance and emotion

TL;DR: A review of available studies examining the human amygdala covers both lesion and electrical stimulation studies as well as the most recent functional neuroimaging studies, and attempts to integrate basic information on normal amygdala function with the current understanding of psychiatric disorders, including pathological anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social perception from visual cues : role of the STS region

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurobiology of emotion perception I: the neural basis of normal emotion perception

TL;DR: It is suggested that the extent to which a stimulus is identified as emotive and is associated with the production of an affective state may be dependent upon levels of activity within these two neural systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

The eyes have it: the neuroethology, function and evolution of social gaze

TL;DR: The hypothesis that gaze following is "hard-wired" in the brain, and may be localized within a circuit linking the superior temporal sulcus, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visual Object Recognition

TL;DR: Evidence from psychology, neuropsychology, and neurophysiology supports the idea that there are multiple systems for recognition of objects, and indicates that one system may represent objects by combinations of multiple views, or aspects, and another may representObjects by structural primitives and their spatial interrelationships.

Functional neuroanatomy of face and object processing. A positron emission tomography study

TL;DR: The results provide the first empirical evidence from normal subjects regarding the crucial role of the ventro-medial region of the right hemisphere in face recognition, and they offer new information about the dissociation between face and object processing.

Stimulus-selective properties of inferior temporal neurons in the macaque

TL;DR: The first systematic survey of the responses of IT neurons to both simple stimuli and highly complex stimuli indicates that there may be specialized mechanisms for the analysis of faces in IT cortex.

Visual Neurones Responsive to Faces in the Monkey Temporal Cortex

TL;DR: Findings indicate that explanations in terms of arousal, emotional or motor reactions, simple visual feature sensitivity or receptive fields are insufficient to account for the selective responses to faces and face features observed in this population of STS neurones.
