Washington, USA (ScienceMag): Are there areas in the brain that are solely dedicated to the processing of faces? Tsao et al. used functional magnetic resonance imaging on monkeys in order to identify areas responding to faces, and then implanted electrodes in the principal area in order to identify its properties at the single-cell level. In this region, virtually all of the cells only responded to faces. This finding supports the idea that the cortex has a modular architecture.
