Aging alters visual processing of objects and shapes in inferotemporal cortex in monkeys

Highlights • Aging in monkeys has an effect on the visual system. • Neuronal baseline activity does not change with aging in the inferotemporal cortex (IT). • Neuronal latency values in the IT increase with age. • Variables reflecting stimulus preference in IT change in a way which indicates decreas...

Summary:Highlights • Aging in monkeys has an effect on the visual system. • Neuronal baseline activity does not change with aging in the inferotemporal cortex (IT). • Neuronal latency values in the IT increase with age. • Variables reflecting stimulus preference in IT change in a way which indicates decreased stimulus selectivity for visual neurons.
