摘要
Facial motion plays a fundamental role in the recognition of facial expressions in primates, but the neural sub-strates underlying this special type of biological motion are not well understood. Here, we used fMRI to inves-tigate the extent to which the specialization for facial motion is represented in the visual system and compared the neural mechanisms for the processing of non-rigid facial motion in macaque monkeys and humans. We defined the areas specialized for facial motion as those significantly more activated when subjects perceived the motion caused by dynamic faces (dynamic faces static faces) than when they perceived the motion caused by dynamic non-face objects (dynamic objects > static objects). We found that, in monkeys, significant activations evoked by facial motion were in the fundus of anterior superior temporal sulcus (STS), which overlapped the anterior fundus face patch. In humans, facial motion activated three separate foci in the right STS: posterior, middle, and anterior STS, with the anterior STS location showing the most selectivity for facial motion compared with other facial motion areas. In both monkeys and humans, facial motion shows a gradient preference as one progresses ante-riorly along the STS. Taken together, our results indicate that monkeys and humans share similar neural substrates within the anterior temporal lobe specialized for the processing of non-rigid facial motion.
