The functional architecture of the ventral temporal cortex and its role in categorization

K Grill-Spector, KS Weiner - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2014 - nature.com
Visual categorization is thought to occur in the human ventral temporal cortex (VTC), but
how this categorization is achieved is still largely unknown. In this Review, we consider the …

The anatomical and functional specialization of the fusiform gyrus

KS Weiner, K Zilles - Neuropsychologia, 2016 - Elsevier
The fusiform gyrus (FG) is commonly included in anatomical atlases and is considered a
key structure for functionally-specialized computations of high-level vision such as face …

Electrical stimulation of human fusiform face-selective regions distorts face perception

…, V Rangarajan, KS Weiner, K Grill-Spector - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
Face-selective neural responses in the human fusiform gyrus have been widely examined.
However, their causal role in human face perception is largely unknown. Here, we used a …

Neural representations of faces and body parts in macaque and human cortex: a comparative FMRI study

MA Pinsk, M Arcaro, KS Weiner… - Journal of …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
Single-cell studies in the macaque have reported selective neural responses evoked by
visual presentations of faces and bodies. Consistent with these findings, functional magnetic …

Sparsely-distributed organization of face and limb activations in human ventral temporal cortex

KS Weiner, K Grill-Spector - Neuroimage, 2010 - Elsevier
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has identified face- and body part-selective
regions, as well as distributed activation patterns for object categories across human ventral …

Common variants in P2RY11 are associated with narcolepsy

…, S Hesselson, RC Axtell, H Kuipers, K Weiner… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that narcolepsy with cataplexy is an autoimmune
disease. We here report genome-wide association analyses for narcolepsy with replication …

Apparent thinning of human visual cortex during childhood is associated with myelination

…, C Jaeger, Z Zhen, S Cox, KS Weiner… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Human cortex appears to thin during childhood development. However, the underlying
microstructural mechanisms are unknown. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), …

The functional neuroanatomy of human face perception

K Grill-Spector, KS Weiner, K Kay… - Annual review of vision …, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Face perception is critical for normal social functioning and is mediated by a network of
regions in the ventral visual stream. In this review, we describe recent neuroimaging findings …
