Face recognition is an essential biologic and social skill. Accurate recognition depends on the ability to encode, store, and retrieve distinct memory representations for the faces of countless individuals encountered in everyday life. In addition, face memory records must be integrated with specific biographic and name information in order to allow the recognition of each person's unique identity. Converging evidence from functional imaging, cortical electrical recording, and neuropsychologic studies suggests that face memory operations in the human brain are mediated by a distributed neural system. Components of this network include specialized memory storage sites within temporal neocortex that interact with medial temporal lobe and prefrontal cortical areas during face memory encoding and retrieval. Selective damage to these neuroanatomic regions gives rise to face recognition disorders characterized by memory loss or memory distortion.
人脸识别是一项重要的生物和社交技能。准确识别依赖于对日常生活中遇到的无数个体的面孔进行编码、存储和检索不同记忆表征的能力。此外，面部记忆记录必须与特定的传记和姓名信息相结合，以便能够识别每个人的独特身份。来自功能成像、皮层电记录和神经心理学研究的越来越多的证据表明，人类大脑中的面部记忆操作由一个分布式神经系统介导。该网络的组成部分包括颞叶新皮层内的专门记忆存储位点，这些位点在面部记忆编码和检索过程中与内侧颞叶和前额叶皮层区域相互作用。对这些神经解剖区域的选择性损伤会导致以记忆丧失或记忆扭曲为特征的人脸识别障碍。
