Interdisciplinary Flashcards
1
Q
do macacque monkeys percieve social information such as faces
A
there are patches of cortex sensitive to faces in macaque STS
neurons recorded from these regions are sensitive not only to identity but facial expression and gaze direction
2
Q
which brain area encodes for social status
A
amygdylla
3
Q
how do we perceive social sounds
A
BOLD activity in STS in macaques
and humans respond to species
specific vocalizations.
4
Q
where are mirror neurons located
A
ventral premotor cortex > F5 > respond to action and action observation
5
Q
what do mirror neurons respond to
A
actions, goals, intentions
