Study Snapshot

Key takeawayObject recognition is a gradual process, with cortical activity gradually increasing in the ventrotemporal visual region and the temporal cortex shifting anteriorly as subjects gain knowledge of object identity.

PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)

Sample size24

MethodsObservational

OutcomesBody Mass Index projections

ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.

The dynamics of object-selective activation correlate with recognition performance in humans

Recognition performance in humans is correlated with selective activation in object-related areas of the brain, with the highest correlation in the lateral occipital complex.

Responses to contour features in macaque area V4.

Macaque area V4 processes information about contour features as a step towards complex shape recognition, with a strong bias towards convex features and orientation.

Distributed representation of objects in the human ventral visual pathway.

The human ventral visual pathway represents objects, not just faces, in a distributed and consistent topological arrangement across a broader expanse of cortex.

Imaging visual recognition: PET and fMRI studies of the functional anatomy of human visual recognition

The neural locations of human visual recognition show a wide range of locations, with no clear agreement among studies.

Localizing the cortical region mediating visual awareness of object identity.

Subliminal visual priming is likely mediated by cortical areas in the inferior temporal cortex, specifically area TE, which is exclusive to object identity awareness.
