Color-tuning of the population of neurons recorded in posterior IT (the V4 Complex) was correlated with object-color statistics. (A) Responses of cells located within globs (fMRI-identified color-biased regions of the V4 Complex; N = 300 cells. The glob-cell population showed a stronger response to the colors more likely associated with naturally colored objects (r = 0.7, p = 10⁻⁰⁷). (B) Responses of cells located within interglob regions (N = 181 cells). The interglob-cell population showed a stronger response to the colors more likely associated with objects, but a lower correlation coefficient than was found among glob cells (r = 0.3, p = 0.04, Fisher z′ = 2.2, p = 0.02).
