Our results demonstrate that, like some species of reef fish43, archerfish are adept at fine-detail pattern discrimination and can apply these abilities to unfamiliar stimuli, including human faces.
The hippocampus draws much interest as a model system because adult-born neurons adapt the brain to temporal events in external space including spatial learning and retention, pattern discrimination, and clearance of memory traces, regulating cognitive and affective behaviors as well as neural plasticity.
The model included four predictors for Experiment 1: Grasping, Reaching, Size discrimination and Pattern discrimination and three predictors for Experiment 2: Grasping, Reaching and Passive viewing.
For both experiments, the activation in S1 and M1 for the perceptual conditions (size discrimination, pattern discrimination and passive viewing) did not differ from the baseline.
The negligible, nonsignificant activation for size discrimination, pattern discrimination, and passive viewing conditions in S1 was used as a reliable marker to tease apart AIP from the nearby somatosensory areas located in the vicinity of the PCS.
Although S1 responded more to grasping than reaching, perhaps because of the greater tactile stimulation of the fingers during object contact [31], only AIP showed a visual response above baseline for the three non-action conditions (size discrimination, pattern discrimination and passive viewing).

Area AIP in the dorsal stream, localized by grasping versus reaching, did not show any difference in activity between size and pattern discriminations, and conversely, area LO in the ventral stream, localized by size versus pattern discrimination, did not show any difference in activity for grasping versus reaching actions.
First, although we would have predicted that the response to size discrimination would have been higher than pattern discrimination, grasping and reaching, we found instead that size discrimination, grasping and reaching were all higher than pattern discrimination.
In all areas, except M1 and S1, activations for grasping, reaching, size discrimination, and pattern discrimination were all significantly higher than baseline.
Figure 8 shows overlaying activation maps elicited by comparing size versus pattern discrimination when go and no-go trials were averaged (size discrimination/all>pattern discrimination/all in yellow) and teased apart (size discrimination/go>pattern discrimination/go in pink, and size discrimination/no-go>pattern discrimination/no-go in light blue).
This interpretation was corroborated by further analyses of the fMRI data in which trials for size and pattern discrimination were divided into go and no/go responses (size discrimination/go, size discrimination/no-go, pattern discrimination/go, and pattern discrimination/no-go trials).

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
