Human neural systems for face recognition and social communication.
TL;DR: Of regions in the extended system for face perception, the amygdala plays a central role in processing the social relevance of information gleaned from faces, particularly when that information may signal a potential threat.

Toward social neuropsychology of epilepsy: a meta-analysis on social cognition in epilepsy phenotypes and a critical narrative review on assessment methods
Marcel Eicher,Hennric Jokeit +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a meta-analysis showed that patients with epilepsy are at a significantly increased risk of deficits in social cognition, while TLE and FLE patients perform worse than those with eTLE/eFLE, without significant differences between FLE and TLE regarding ToM ability.
The representation of self and person knowledge in the medial prefrontal cortex.
TL;DR: The role of familiarity and similarity in person perception and of spontaneous processes in self and other-referential cognition and the myriad ways in which the social cognitive neuroscience approach has provided new insights into the nature and structure of self and person knowledge are discussed.
On the particular vulnerability of face recognition to aging: a review of three hypotheses
TL;DR: The evidence surveyed provides support for the idea that all three factors are likely to contribute, under certain conditions, to the deficits in face recognition seen in older adults.
Differences in cortical activity between methamphetamine-dependent and healthy individuals performing a facial affect matching task
Doris Payer,Matthew D. Lieberman,John Monterosso,Jiansong Xu,Timothy W. Fong,Edythe D. London +5 more
TL;DR: Dorsal ACC hyperactivity, along with high self-ratings of hostility and interpersonal sensitivity in the MA-dependent group, suggest a hyper-sensitivity to socially threatening cues in theMA-dependent participants, while lower VLPFC activation could point to a deficit in integrating socio-emotional information and/or regulating this limbic hyperactivity.
A boy primed Sue: feature‐based processing and person construal
C. Neil Macrae,Douglas Martin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hair cues on the process and temporal dynamics of sex categorization were explored using a standard priming paradigm to index the products of person construal (i.e., categorical and stereotype-based knowledge).

The Fusiform Face Area: A Module in Human Extrastriate Cortex Specialized for Face Perception
TL;DR: The data allow us to reject alternative accounts of the function of the fusiform face area (area “FF”) that appeal to visual attention, subordinate-level classification, or general processing of any animate or human forms, demonstrating that this region is selectively involved in the perception of faces.
Hearing lips and seeing voices
Harry McGurk,John Macdonald +1 more
TL;DR: The study reported here demonstrates a previously unrecognised influence of vision upon speech perception, on being shown a film of a young woman's talking head in which repeated utterances of the syllable [ba] had been dubbed on to lip movements for [ga].

The distributed human neural system for face perception.
TL;DR: A model for the organization of this system that emphasizes a distinction between the representation of invariant and changeable aspects of faces is proposed and is hierarchical insofar as it is divided into a core system and an extended system.

Distributed and Overlapping Representations of Faces and Objects in Ventral Temporal Cortex
James V. Haxby,M. Ida Gobbini,Maura L. Furey,Alumit Ishai,Jennifer L. Schouten,Pietro Pietrini +5 more
TL;DR: The functional architecture of the object vision pathway in the human brain was investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure patterns of response in ventral temporal cortex while subjects viewed faces, cats, five categories of man-made objects, and nonsense pictures, and a distinct pattern of response was found for each stimulus category.

Understanding face recognition
Vicki Bruce,Andrew W. Young +1 more
TL;DR: A functional model is proposed in which structural encoding processes provide descriptions suitable for the analysis of facial speech, for analysis of expression and for face recognition units, and it is proposed that the cognitive system plays an active role in deciding whether or not the initial match is sufficiently close to indicate true recognition.
