Association Cortices

Question 1

Selective activation of face cells in inferior temporal cortex of rhesus monkey

Answer 1

Neurons don’t fire to baseline image of hand
Fire to aspects of face and general organisation but if it’s muddled up the monkey might not recognise it
Can see what specifically the neurons are firing to when muddle the face up

Question 2

Selective activation in the cortex of a rhesus monkey as a function of attention

Answer 2

Recording from posterior parietal cortex
Get monkeys to attend to or ignore targets and showed neurons in parietal cortex are responding to different areas of visual space
Did these manipulations to get monkey to attend to different areas of visual space with juice reward

Question 3

Selective activation in the cortex of a rhesus monkey as a function of attention

Answer 3

Recording from posterior parietal cortex
Get monkeys to attend to or ignore targets and showed neurons in parietal cortex are responding to different areas of visual space
Did these manipulations to get monkey to attend to different areas of visual space with juice reward
