In which lobe do we find cells that respond especially strongly to familiar faces? How do researchers interpret the activity of these cells?
A) Such cells are found in the occipital lobe. These cells are dedicated "face-processing cells."
B) Such cells are found in the occipital lobe. Their activity reflects inputs both from the temporal lobe and from brain areas associated with memory.
C) Such cells are found in the temporal lobe. These cells are dedicated "face-processing cells."
D) Such cells are found in the temporal lobe. Their activity reflects inputs both from the occipital lobe and from brain areas associated with memory.
