Human amygdala compared to orbitofrontal cortex connectivity, and emotion
2023, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The cortex in the macaque superior temporal sulcus (STS) includes neurons that we discovered respond to face expression and to socially relevant head motion such as turning the head or opening or closing the eyes to make or break social contact (Hasselmo et al., 1989a, 1989b), and there is complementary evidence for humans (Critchley et al., 2000; Freiwald, 2020; Yokoyama et al., 2021) in what has become accepted as a third visual pathway for socially relevant stimuli (Pitcher and Ungerleider, 2021). Consistent with this, neurons in the primate amygdala respond to socially relevant stimuli such as face expression (Rolls, 1984; Leonard et al., 1985) and the social stimuli produced by others (Hernadi et al., 2015; Grabenhorst et al., 2016, 2019; Grabenhorst and Schultz, 2021). Those anterior superior temporal cortical regions receive connectivity from the inferior temporal cortex part of the ventral visual stream so are likely to include representations of objects as well as faces (Rolls et al., 2022c; b).
