The human social brain is complex. Current knowledge fails to define the neurobiological
processes underlying social behaviour involving the (patho-) physiological mechanisms that …

To date, fMRI research has been concerned primarily with evincing generic principles of
brain function through averaging data from multiple subjects. Given rapid developments in …

In this article, I discuss some of the latest functional neuroimaging findings on the
organization of object concepts in the human brain. I argue that these data provide strong …

Extensive research has supported the existence of a specialized face-processing network
that is distinct from the visual processing areas used for general object recognition. The …

The visual word form area (VWFA) is a region in the left occipitotemporal sulcus of literate
individuals that is purportedly specialized for visual word recognition. However, there is …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by reduced attention to social stimuli
including the human face. This hypo-responsiveness to stimuli that are engaging to typically …

Damage to the right fusiform face area can disrupt the ability to recognize faces, a classic
example of how damage to a specialized brain region can disrupt a specialized brain …

Many studies have reported that heavy substance use is associated with impaired response
inhibition. Studies typically focused on associations with a single substance, while …

Despite a wealth of information provided by neuroimaging research, the neural basis of
familiar face recognition in humans remains largely unknown. Here, we isolated the …

Face recognition is supported by collaborative work of multiple face-responsive regions in
the brain. Based on findings from individuals with normal face recognition ability, a neural …
