Neural facial processing

Furthermore, right- and left-handers displayed excitatory reciprocal interhemispheric connections among the homotopic face-sensitive regions. By preceding recognition, detection can not only act as a domain-specific filter to gate subsequent processing, but it can include alignment and segmentation, preparing faces for subsequent measurement. The role of experience in determining both the localization of face processing and its holistic characteristics is also debated. In press Insular networks for emotional processing and social cognition: What makes faces special? The publisher's final edited version of this article is available at Annu Rev Neurosci. At seven months, the object of an observed face's apparent emotional reaction is relevant in processing the face.
