Animal models of memory have been considered as the subject of many scientific
publications at least since the beginning of the twentieth century. In humans, memory is …

Typical human adults recognize numerous individuals from their faces accurately, rapidly
and automatically, reaching a level of expertise at individual face recognition that is …

Compared with other objects, faces are processed more holistically and with a larger
reliance on configural information. Such hallmarks efface processing can also be found for …

Stimulus repetition in identification tasks leads to improved behavioral performance
(“repetition priming”) but attenuated neural responses (“repetition suppression”) throughout …

Background Neuroimaging and neuropsychological literature show functional dissociations
in brain activity during processing of stimuli belonging to different semantic categories (eg …

Object vision in human and nonhuman primates is often cited as a primary example of adult
plasticity in neural information processing. It has been hypothesized that visual experience …

Long-term familiarity facilitates recognition of visual stimuli. To better understand the neural
basis for this effect, we measured the local field potential (LFP) and multiunit spiking activity …

Repeated viewing of an image over days and weeks induces a marked reduction in the
strength with which neurons in monkey inferotemporal cortex respond to it. The processing …

The ability to recognize the prior occurrence of objects can operate effectively even in the
absence of successful recollection of episodic contextual detail about a relevant past object …

Neural responses throughout the sensory system are affected by stimulus history. In the
inferotemporal cortex (IT)—an area important for processing information about object shape …
