That is an implication of unpublished research using macaque monkeys by Doris Tsao and Winrich Freiwald, of the University of Bremen, in Germany.The pair recorded how cells in a region of the brain devoted to facial recognition, called the fusiform face area, code the information.
Their area of particular interest was part of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which previous work had suggested is involved in the recognition of objects, including faces.Dr Yovel and Dr Kanwisher showed their subjects pictures of faces and houses, and measured the level of activity in the FFA.
Earlier brain-scanning studies have shown that the part of the brain which identifies word shape is in an area called the fusiform gyrus.
One common nasty is fusiform rust disease, which causes branches to break in the wind; but not all individual trees are susceptible.
The fMRI looked especially at part of the brain's cortex known as the fusiform face area.
Unlike the apical meristems, which consist of a population of similar cells, the cambium consists of two different cell types; the fusiform initials and the ray initials.
The fusiform and ray initials of the cambium divide in a plane tangential to the surface of the stem, with the long axes of the fusiform and ray initials parallel to the long axis of the plant organ.
The body may be fusiform (tapered at both ends), as in Semionotus, or flat and disk-shaped, as in Dapedium.
The vascular cambium consists of two types of cells, which together give rise to the secondary xylem and phloem: fusiform initials and ray initials.
The body is fusiform, the fins are well-developed, and the tail is heterocercal.
