A Prototypical Template for Rapid Face Detection Is Embedded in the Monkey Superior Colliculus

Human babies respond preferentially to faces or face-like images. It has been proposed that an innate and rapid face detection system is present at birth before the cortical visual pathway is developed in many species, including primates. However, in primates, the visual area responsible for this pr...
