Functional specialization and convergence in the occipito-temporal cortex supporting haptic and visual identification of human faces and body parts: an fMRI study.

29 Sep 2009 Humans can recognize common objects by touch extremely well whenever vision is unavailable. Despite its importance to a thorough understanding of human object recognition, the neuroscientific study of this topic has been relatively neglected. To ... Read more...

Cortical microinfarcts in Alzheimer's disease and subcortical vascular dementia.

13 Jul 2009 Cortical microinfarcts are reported in Alzheimer's disease, but not in subcortical vascular dementia; the disease specificity of cortical microinfarcts therefore remains unclear. The distribution of cortical microinfarcts in Alzheimer's disease (n = ... Read more...

Abnormal face identity coding in the middle fusiform gyrus of two brain-damaged prosopagnosic patients.

16 May 2009 We report a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) adaptation study of two well-described patients, DF and PS, who present face identity recognition impairments (prosopagnosia) following brain-damage. Comparing faces to non-face objects ... Read more...
