Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies in monkeys have found that neurons in the superior temporal sulcus respond selectively to the direction of gaze and head orientation, as well as to other socially relevant cues. Human neuroimaging studies have also consistently shown activation in the superior temporal sulcus when individuals are asked to make judgments about the mental states of others based on their eye gaze.
