IN BRIEF

摘要

TWO newly identified brain areas in rhesus monkeys seem to help the animals recognise familiar faces. We already knew that areas of the temporal and prefrontal cortex are involved in unfamiliar face perception in rhesus monkeys. Now, Sofia Landi and Winrich Freiwald at Rockefeller University in New York have identified additional regions that play a part in the perception of both unfamiliar and familiar faces.
