Fig. 2: Example of 4 neuronal responses in the face-selective midfusiform cortex.
From: Single neuron responses underlying face recognition in the human midfusiform face-selective cortex
A A single neuron responding to pictures of faces (and not to pictures of places), without a significant difference between the responses to familiar and unknown faces (two-sided t-test). B A single neuron also showing face-responses but with a significantly larger response to the familiar faces (p < 0.05, two-sided t-test). For this neuron, there was also a less pronounced but significant decrease in firing in response to pictures of places (p < 0.05, two-sided t-test). C A face-responsive single neuron, with a significantly larger response to unknown faces (p < 0.05, two-sided t-test). This modulation, however, is very different to that of the previous neurons, showing a more variable response pattern, responding selectively to a few unknown faces. D A multi-unit with a significant response to places, without modulation by familiarity. The shaded areas represent SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
