Face-selective neurons in the vicinity of the human fusiform face area.
Neurology(2019)
Abstract
Face perception is thought to be mediated by neural activity in the occipital and posterior temporal cortex.(1,2) However, the face-selective neurons at the cellular level in these areas in humans have never been demonstrated. We had a rare opportunity to record intracranial multi-unit activity in an epilepsy patient near the fusiform face area(2) (figure 1A). We identified 2 units with highly face-selective response to static images of familiar (famous) and unfamiliar faces (figure 1B and video 1; figure e-1a, doi.org/10.5061/dryad.81t0fq1) as well as to human and animal faces that appeared in a movie (figure 1C, video 1, figure e-1b).
