Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, California, 94305, USA
Nat Neurosci 9:1177-85. 2006..These results suggest that visual processing in this region is not exclusive to faces. Overall, our approach provides a framework for understanding the fine-scale structure of neural representations in the human brain... - The fusiform face area is enlarged in Williams syndromeGolijeh Golarai
Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA
J Neurosci 30:6700-12. 2010..Thus, a larger FFA may play a role in face recognition proficiency among WS... - Relating retinotopic and object-selective responses in human lateral occipital cortexRory Sayres
Neurosciences Institute, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USA
J Neurophysiol 100:249-67. 2008..Overall these results demonstrate that retinal position exhibits strong effects on neural response in LO and indicates that these position effects may be explained by retinotopic organization... - Differential development of high-level visual cortex correlates with category-specific recognition memoryGolijeh Golarai

Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
Trends Cogn Sci 16:251-4. 2012..We suggest a series of constraints to aid researchers when defining any functionally specialized region with a pleasing realization: anatomy matters... - Deos the bairn not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe?Kalanit Grill-Spector

J Neurophysiol 95:995-1007. 2006..We found significant RS for brief presentations (albeit with a reduced magnitude), which again persisted when controlling for performance. This suggests a substantial amount of RS occurs during recognition... - White matter microstructure on diffusion tensor imaging is associated with conventional magnetic resonance imaging findings and cognitive function in adolescents born pretermHeidi M Feldman
