The number of reports on the cognitive neuroscience of aging has increased in recent years,
and most of these studies have found many similarities in the patterns of activity in young …

Classically, it has been presumed that picture-plane inversion primarily reduces sensitivity to
spacing/configural information in faces (distance between location of the major features) and …

The human face is unique among social stimuli in conveying such a variety of different
characteristics. A person's identity, sex, race, age, emotional state, focus of attention, facial …

Abstract fMRI studies have reported three regions in human ventral visual cortex that
respond selectively to faces: the occipital face area (OFA), the fusiform face area (FFA), and …

Perception of fearful faces is associated with functional activation of cortico-limbic structures,
which has been found altered in individuals with psychiatric disorders such as …

Face processing relies on a distributed, patchy network of cortical regions in the temporal
and frontal lobes that respond disproportionately to face stimuli, other cortical regions that …

Humans have a profound effect on the planet's ecosystems, and unprecedented rates of
human population growth and urbanization have brought wild animals into increasing …

Studies have shown that fusiform face area (FFA) activity increases with visual expertise. We
present an fMRI study showing that faces from a social category made relevant by an …

Since the days of Galton (1879), psychologists have been aware that a face is not identified
by the recognition of its isolated, individual features, but by the integration of these features …

This study investigated the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying the role of the eye and
the mouth regions in the recognition of facial happiness, anger, and surprise. To this end …
