Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

Face perception relies on computations carried out in face-selective cortical areas. These
areas have been intensively investigated for two decades, and this work has been guided by …

Recognising and representing one's self as distinct from others is a fundamental component
of self-awareness. However, current theories of self-recognition are not embedded within …

Is the human mind/brain composed of a set of highly specialized components, each carrying
out a specific aspect of human cognition, or is it more of a general-purpose device, in which …

Each edition of this classic reference has proved to be a benchmark in the developing field
of cognitive neuroscience. The third edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to …

Pattern separation, or the process by which highly similar stimuli or experiences in memory
are represented by non-overlapping neural ensembles, has typically been ascribed to …

One of the most robust experience-related cortical dynamics is reduced neural activity when
stimuli are repeated. This reduction has been linked to performance improvements due to …

Faces are among the most important visual stimuli we perceive, informing us not only about
a person's identity, but also about their mood, sex, age and direction of gaze. The ability to …

Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …

Facial expressions are of eminent importance for social interaction as they convey
information about other individuals' emotions and social intentions. According to the …
