The monkey ventral premotor cortex processes 3D shape from disparity KU Leuven
Visual processing of the three-dimensional (3D) shape of objects is important for object recognition as well as for the control of grasping. Single cell studies have revealed that many ventral premotor cortical (F5) neurons are selective for the shape of real-world objects--the so-called canonical neurons--but there is little experimental evidence for depth structure selectivity in frontal cortex. Here we used contrast-agent enhanced fMRI in the ...
