This page covers biological details of component Inferotemporal Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

Top-down path to region: Cortex -> Temporal Lobe (NC.LOBE.TEMP) -> Inferotemporal Area (NSA.NC.IT) -> Inferotemporal Cortex (NSA.NC.IT.TE) (see Mind Maps)
Type: cortex
Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Sensory Aggregation Area
Brodmann ID: 20
Role: processor
Function: Represent different views of objects
Notes to function: Face recognition, high level visual processing
