Newfound brain-wide network and its role in visual object memory (IMAGE)
Caption
Diagram of the ventral fronto-temporal network operations necessary for visual object memory. During perception (left), neurons in the anterior ventral temporal cortex (aVTC) are primarily activated by bottom-up visual input, while the effect of top-down regulation from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) remains minimal. During memory retention without visual input (right), top-down signals from the OFC upregulate the aVTC neurons, which represent behaviorally relevant item information.
