pathways. The ventral pathway computes the identity of an object; the dorsal pathway …

Historically, research on emotion perception has focused on facial expressions, and findings
from this modality have come to dominate our thinking about other modalities. Here we …

Previous behavioral research points to a positive relationship between maternal touch and
early social development. Here, we explored the brain correlates of this relationship. The …

Prior studies demonstrate that a face-responsive region in the posterior superior temporal
sulcus (pSTS) is involved in facial expression recognition. Although this region can be …

The posterior lateral temporal cortex is implicated in many verbal, nonverbal, and social
cognitive domains and processes. Yet without directly comparing these disparate domains …
