Neurons in the human amygdala and hippocampus that are selective for the identity of
specific people are classically thought to encode a person's identity invariant to visual
features (eg, skin tone, eye shape). However, it remains largely unknown how visual
information from higher visual cortical areas is translated into such a semantic
representation of an individual person. Here, we show that some amygdala and
hippocampal neurons are selective to multiple different unrelated face identities based on …
