Representations of bodies and body-parts in macaque temporal cortex: a cobined fMRI and single cell study.

We study the representation of visual images of body and bodyparts in macaque inferior temporal cortex using a combined fMRI-single cell approach. The purpose is to understand how visual images of bodies and body-parts are coded in the temporal visual cortex and to link these representations to those observed using fMRI in humans.
