The neural processing of familiar and unfamiliar faces: A review and synopsis
V Natu, AJ O'Toole - British journal of psychology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Familiar faces are represented with rich visual, semantic, and emotional codes that support
nearly effortless perception and recognition of these faces. Unfamiliar faces pose a greater …

Category-specific cortical activity precedes retrieval during memory search
Here we describe a functional magnetic resonance imaging study of humans engaged in
memory search during a free recall task. Patterns of cortical activity associated with the study of …

The functional neuroanatomy of face perception: from brain measurements to deep neural networks
A central goal in neuroscience is to understand how processing within the ventral visual stream
enables rapid and robust perception and recognition. Recent neuroscientific discoveries …

Apparent thinning of human visual cortex during childhood is associated with myelination
Human cortex appears to thin during childhood development. However, the underlying
microstructural mechanisms are unknown. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), …

Microstructural proliferation in human cortex is coupled with the development of face processing
How does cortical tissue change as brain function and behavior improve from childhood to
adulthood? By combining quantitative and functional magnetic resonance imaging in children …

[HTML][HTML] Development differentially sculpts receptive fields across early and high-level human visual cortex
Receptive fields (RFs) processing information in restricted parts of the visual field are a key
property of visual system neurons. However, how RFs develop in humans is unknown. Using …

Unaware person recognition from the body when face identification fails
A Rice, PJ Phillips, V Natu, X An… - Psychological …, 2013 - journals.sagepub.com
How does one recognize a person when face identification fails? Here, we show that people
rely on the body but are unaware of doing so. State-of-the-art face-recognition algorithms …

[HTML][HTML] White matter myelination during early infancy is linked to spatial gradients and myelin content at birth
Abstract Development of myelin, a fatty sheath that insulates nerve fibers, is critical for brain
function. Myelination during infancy has been studied with histology, but postmortem data …

Cortical recycling in high-level visual cortex during childhood development
Human ventral temporal cortex contains category-selective regions that respond preferentially
to ecologically relevant categories such as faces, bodies, places and words and that are …

Defining the most probable location of the parahippocampal place area using cortex-based alignment and cross-validation
The parahippocampal place area (PPA) is a widely studied high-level visual region in the
human brain involved in place and scene processing. The goal of the present study was to …
