Figure 4. Model of Face Motion and Face Form Processing along the Macaque Temporal Lobe.

Figure 4

Functional specificity of face patches is organized along two main anatomical axes. From posterior to anterior, face patches show increasing identity selectivity and increasing tolerance to viewing condition [4]. Along the dorso-ventral axis, face patches show differential selectivity for natural motion, with ‘dynamic’ dorsal patches (purple) responding to natural motion and ‘static’ ventral patches (red) responding more to rapidly varying face stimuli. Face motion activates all of these patches as well as motion processing areas (blue), which are selective for neither momentary face form nor natural face motion.
