Abstract(in English) | Object recognition and memory are severely lmpaired in monkeys that receive surgical lesions of the inferotemporal cortex (IT). Neurons in the IT show activities during presentation of complex objects. These data suggest that the IT is involved in the visual recognition of complex forms. We started our studies to examine the stimulus selective properties of the IT and the amygdala (AMY) which receives inputs from the IT during presentation of stimuli and during memory period. The most anterior portion of the inferior temporal cortex, the temporal pole (POLE) had the best ability to discriminate complex visual stimuli each other. The proportion of memory neurons (D neurons) was also largest in the POLE. These data suggest that visual information flows from the posterior to anterior in the temporal cortex. |
