Single neuron studies of inferior temporal cortex.
This paper reviews our experiments on the response properties of single neurons in inferior temporal (IT) cortex in the monkey that were carried out starting in 1965. It describes situational factors that led us to find neurons sensitive to images of faces and hands and summarizes the basic sensory properties of IT neurons. Subsequent developments on the cognitive properties of IT neurons and o...
متن کاملShape tuning in macaque inferior temporal cortex.
Neurons in the inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the macaque fire more strongly to some shapes than others, but little is known about how to characterize this shape tuning more generally, because most previous studies have used somewhat arbitrary variations in the stimuli with unspecified magnitudes of the changes. The present investigation studied the modulation of IT cells to nonaccidental pro...
متن کاملShape representation in the inferior temporal cortex of monkeys
BACKGROUND The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of the monkey has long been known to play an essential role in visual object recognition. Damage to this area results in severe deficits in perceptual learning and object recognition, without significantly affecting basic visual capacities. Consistent with these ablation studies is the discovery of IT neurons that respond to complex two-dimensional v...
متن کاملEncoding of Stimulus Probability in Macaque Inferior Temporal Cortex
Optimal perceptual decisions require sensory signals to be combined with prior information about stimulus probability. Although several theories propose that probabilistic information about stimulus occurrence is encoded in sensory cortex, evidence from neuronal recordings has not yet fully supported this view. We recorded activity from single neurons in inferior temporal cortex (IT) while monk...
متن کاملInferior temporal cortex: where visual perception meets memory.
The neural processes that lead to visual perception and memory, thus subserving the identification of objects, have been assigned to the multisynaptic occipito-temporo-limbic projection that interconnects the striate, prestriate, inferior temporal, and hippocampal cortices (Gross 1972; Maunsell & Newsome 1987; Mishkin et al 1983). Recent advances in our understanding of the organization of the ...
