Cross-Category Invariant Neurons in the Human Amygdala

2026-01-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Recognizing individuals or objects across different contexts is a hallmark of primate cognition. Beyond recognition, the brain organizes visual stimuli into meaningful categories, supporting efficient perception and adaptive behavior. Previous studies in the human temporal lobe have identified concept cells supporting invariant representations of specific stimuli. However, invariant coding alone...
