Researchers have identified a brain pathway between the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the inferior temporal cortex which enables primates to effortlessly identify objects in their field of vision.
Object and facial recognition abilities are associated with the same brain area but are characterized by different depths of cortical layers, which form at the age each ability was acquired.

A new study reveals differences in a person's visual ability to recognize objects is not associated with their general intelligence.
At 6 months of age, babies are capable of memory guided attention, a new study reveals. Young infants are able to learn and remember contextual visual cues to find objects of interest, researchers report. The findings shed new light on both typical and atypical brain development.
Researchers have identified how signals from the visual and prefrontal cortices may interact to help us recognize shapes that are not entirely visible.
Researchers analyze V2 neurons to provide a better understanding pf how the brain processes what we see.
