Optogenetic and pharmacological suppression of spatial clusters of face neurons reveal their causal role in face gender discrimination
Neurons that respond more to images of faces over nonface objects were identified in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex of primates three decades ago. Although it is hypothesized that perceptual discrimination between faces depends on the neural activity of IT subregions enriched with “face neurons,”...
