Fixations Gate Species-Specific Responses to Free Viewing of Faces in the Human and Macaque Amygdala

Neurons in the primate amygdala respond prominently to faces. This implicates the amygdala in the processing of socially significant stimuli, yet its contribution to social perception remains poorly understood. We evaluated the representation of faces in the primate amygdala during naturalistic cond...
