Neural representations of faces and limbs neighbor in human high-level visual cortex: evidence for a new organization principle

Neurophysiology and optical imaging studies in monkeys and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in both monkeys and humans have localized clustered neural responses in inferotemporal cortex selective for images of biologically relevant categories, such as faces and limbs. Using higher resolution (1.5 mm voxels) fMRI scanning methods than past studies (3-5 mm voxels), we recently reported a network of multiple face- and...
