Early face deprivation leads to long-lasting deficits in cortical face processing

This study shows that face-deprived monkeys develop face selectivity later but retain lasting effects of early deprivation on neural representations.

Mapping Macaque to Human Cortex with Natural Scene Responses

The paper maps functional correspondence between macaque and human cortex using natural scene responses, resolving ambiguities in cross-species alignment.

Monkey See, Model Knew: Large Language Models Accurately Predict Visual Brain Responses in Humans AND Non-Human Primates

This paper shows that large language models can predict visual brain responses in humans and non-human primates, suggesting that language-aligned models capture general visual patterns rather than language-specific features.

When the whole is only the parts: non-holistic object parts predominate face-cell responses to illusory faces.

The paper shows that face cells in macaques respond to illusory face images based on isolated object parts, not holistic face-like configurations or human faceness ratings.

Out of sight, out of mind: Responses in primate ventral visual cortex track individual fixations during natural vision

The paper shows that ventral visual cortex responses in monkeys remain retinotopic during natural vision, tracking individual fixations rather than becoming gaze-invariant.
