Visual input statistics and behavioral relevance jointly constrain higher visual cortex organization.

Cognitive neuroscience

Category selectivity as a window into behavioral relevance.

Cognitive neuroscience
Ritchie et al. (this issue) argue that a deeper understanding of occipitotemporal cortex (OTC) requires shifting emphasis from category selectivity to behavioral relevance. They suggest that focusing on categories such as faces, bodies, or scenes is ...
