Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeff is correct that we have neurons that respond specifically to faces. These neurons are located in the fusiform gyrus and have been extensively studied. However, Missy is partially correct in that neurons do respond to all stimuli, but not all neurons respond equally to all stimuli. Some are more specialized than others, such as the face neurons in the fusiform gyrus.
