Discover the part that helps identify the face of the brain

The research team - led by D. Plaut and A. Nestor - from Carnegie Mellon University (USA) has discovered a complete network made up of several cortical regions of people involved in the face recognition process. of others in the communication process.

To conduct research, face images of participants were processed with a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. Later, scientists recognized different faces with various facial expressions.

By using polymorphic diagrams, they examined functional MRI data and discovered a grid of rhombic frontal regions related to different types of facial recognition. Moreover, they also find that the information is even distributed among the front regions and the rhombic region plays a central role in the network.

Professor Behrmann - member of the research team - stressed ' The face is the most important part to identify a person. The authors have long studied the comprehensive system of the brain. It is important that we have found conjugated cortical regions that work together to identify an object '.

The discovery is expected to change the future of optic nerve studies and allow scientists to use this result to develop remedy for functional disorders such as dementia. face recognition ability of other people.
