Differences in category information processing between areas TEO and TE of the macaque by Masaumi Shimizu, Shun Katakami, Masato Okada, Yasuko Sugase-Miyamoto, Kazuko Hayashi, Kazuko Hayashi, Keiji Matsuda, Kenichiro Miura, Kenichiro Miura, Mark A. G. Eldridge, Richard C. Saunders, Barry J. Richmond, Narihisa Matsumoto

“…In area TE, category decoding performance continued to improve into later in the time window than in TEO. Furthermore, we found that, after cat/dog category training, area TE neuronal populations encode cat and dog category information more strongly than do TEO neurons even in a fixation task (Mann-Whitney U-test, p &lt; 0.05). …”
