Attention is an indispensable component of active vision. Contrary to the widely accepted
notion that temporal cortex processing primarily focusses on passive object recognition, a …

It is a common view that the intricate array of specialized domains in the ventral visual
pathway is innately prespecified. What this review postulates is that they are not. We explore …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has dramatically expanded in primates, but its organization and
interactions with other brain regions are only partially understood. We performed high …

Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), and temporal
cortex (TE) all contribute to visual decision-making. Accumulating evidence suggests that …

Faces are thought to have a privileged status for processing relative to other visual images.
Humans use faces to identify people, learn language, and to communicate and understand …

Primates learn statistical regularities that are embedded in visual sequences, a form of
statistical learning. Single-unit recordings in macaques showed that inferior temporal (IT) …

Attention and working memory (WM) are distinct cognitive functions, yet given their close
interactions, it is often assumed that they share the same neuronal mechanisms. We show …

Monitoring sequential information is an essential component of our daily lives. Many of these
sequences are abstract, in that they do not depend on the individual stimuli, but do depend …

The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) is a crucial experimental animal that shares many
genetic, brain organizational, and behavioral characteristics with humans. A macaque brain …

Synaptic overproduction and elimination is a regular developmental event in the mammalian
brain. In the cerebral cortex, synaptic overproduction is almost exclusively correlated with …
