The occipital face area is causally involved in identity-related visual-semantic associations
Faces are processed in a network of areas within regions of the ventral visual stream. However, familiar faces typically are characterized by...

Direct comparison of contralateral bias and face/scene selectivity in human occipitotemporal cortex
Human visual cortex is organised broadly according to two major principles: retinotopy (the spatial mapping of the retina in cortex) and...

One object, two networks? Assessing the relationship between the face and body-selective regions in the primate visual system
Faces and bodies are often treated as distinct categories that are processed separately by face- and body-selective brain regions in the primate...

TMS of the occipital face area modulates cross-domain identity priming
Accumulating evidence suggests that besides its function in early facial feature processing, the role of the right occipital face area (rOFA) extends...

Medial prefrontal and occipito-temporal activity at encoding determines enhanced recognition of threatening faces after 1.5 years
Studies demonstrated that faces with threatening emotional expressions are better remembered than non-threatening faces. However, whether this memory...

The macaque face patch system: a turtle’s underbelly for the brain
Objects constitute the fundamental currency of our consciousness: they are the things that we perceive, remember and think about. One of the most...

Neural mechanisms underlying empathy during alcohol abstinence: evidence from connectome-based predictive modeling
Empathy impairments have been linked to alcohol dependence even during abstinent periods. Nonetheless, the neural underpinnings of abstinence-induced...

On the relationship between maps and domains in inferotemporal cortex
How does the brain encode information about the environment? Decades of research have led to the pervasive notion that the object-processing pathway...

Neural responses to facial attractiveness in the judgments of moral goodness and moral beauty
The judgments of moral goodness and moral beauty objectively refer to the perception and evaluation of moral traits, which are generally influenced...

White matter deficits correlate with visual motion perception impairments in dyslexic carriers of the DCDC2 genetic risk variant
Motion perception deficits in dyslexia show a large intersubjective variability, partly reflecting genetic factors influencing brain architecture...

Rule-based or information-integration category: processing of the self-face
This study investigated the differences between categorizing the self-face and other faces. Additionally, the study aimed to determine whether...

Neural representations underlying mental imagery as unveiled by representation similarity analysis
It is commonly acknowledged that visual imagery and perception rely on the same content-dependent brain areas in the high-level visual cortex (HVC)....

Psychological and Neurobiological Foundations of Consciousness
This chapter deals with a highly popular and at the same time fiercely controversial psycho-neurobiological topic, namely consciousness and its...

Baseline brain function in the preadolescents of the ABCD Study
The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study ® is a 10-year longitudinal study of children recruited at ages 9 and 10. A battery of...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Mapping for Perceptual and Cognitive Functions
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a powerful neuroscience technique that provides a mechanism to study causal brain-behavior relationships...
-
The occipital face area is causally involved in the formation of identity-specific face representations
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and neuroimaging studies suggest a role of the right occipital face area (rOFA) in early facial feature...

Neural Mechanisms of Sociality
Contemporary social neuroscienceNeuroscience focuses on the neural basis of socialitySociality. This social impulse requires motivation and knowledge...

Controlling for Spurious Nonlinear Dependence in Connectivity Analyses
Recent analysis methods can capture nonlinear interactions between brain regions. However, noise sources might induce spurious nonlinear...
-
ERP Source Analysis Guided by fMRI During Familiar Face Processing
Event related potentials (ERPs) provide precise temporal information about cognitive processing, but with poor spatial resolution, while functional...

MEG Studies on the Connectivity of Brain Networks in Children
In recent years MEG has been well established as a method for investigating neuronal connectivity of human brain networks. In this chapter we...
