A behavioral face preference deficit in a monkey with an incomplete face patch system

Kasper Vinken, Rufin Vogels

Abstract: Highlights•Monkey D naturally lacks fMRI-defined posterior and middle lateral face patches.•Face selective neurons didn't cluster in her middle lateral superior temporal sulcus.•She showed a reduced face bias when free-viewing content-rich images with faces.•Her fixation patterns were distinct from controls, especially for images with faces.
