Mesial temporal neurons in the macaque monkey with responses selective for aspects of social stimuli
Multisensory Neurons in the Primate Amygdala
TLDR
It is shown that a large portion of neurons in the amygdala respond to stimuli from two or more sensory modalities, which establishes a foundation for multisensory integration within this structure.

Neurophysiological evidence is described showing that some neurons in the macaque inferior temporal visual cortex have responses that are invariant with respect to the position, size, view, and…

Brain mechanisms for invariant visual and learning recognition
TLDR
It is shown that the representation that is built in temporal cortical areas shows considerable invariance for size, contrast, spatial frequency and translation, and one of the representations is view-invariant, which is suitable for recognition and as an input to associative memory.

The Human Amygdala and Emotion
TLDR
Lesion and functional imaging studies in humans support a role for the amygdala in recognizing emotions in facial expressions, especially fear, and shows that the amygdala also modulates encoding of declarative knowledge about emo tional material.

TLDR
Most AM neurons responded vigorously to novel stimuli, and some of the neurons had multimodal responsiveness, suggesting the AM is related to processing of new environmental stimuli and to those cross-modal association.

TLDR
A functional organization of cells responsive to the sight of different views of the head that was found to be highly selective for particular individuals that were familiar to the monkey with selectivity persisting across a great variety of viewing conditions.

TLDR
The properties of most STP neurons, such as large receptive fields, sensitivity to movement, insensitivity to form, and polymodal responsiveness, suggest that STP is more involved in orientation and spatial functions than in pattern recognition.

TLDR
Results suggest that the recognition of one type of object may proceed via the independent high level analysis of several restricted views of the object (viewer-centred descriptions).
