Four monkeys were trained to choose two rewarded stimuli from four two-dimensional patterns presented successively, and the responsiveness of single units to these patterns was investigated. Eighty-three of 214 units (39%) recorded from the dorsolateral portion of the inferotemporal cortex were responsive; nearly half responded to all four patterns, irrespective of pattern shape and of whether the stimuli were rewarded or not. A few units were responsive to only one of the patterns, regardless of size, color, or luminance, and unresponsiveness to components of the response-eliciting patterns was indicated in some of these units. The activity of most units response to two or three patterns was dependent on pattern shapes rather than the learnt meaning of the patterns.
训练了四只猴子，让它们从连续呈现的四个二维图案中选择两个有奖励的刺激，并研究单个神经元对这些图案的反应。从颞下皮质背外侧部分记录的214个神经元中有83个（39%）有反应；近一半的神经元对所有四种图案都有反应，无论图案形状以及刺激是否有奖励。少数神经元只对其中一种图案有反应，与图案的大小、颜色或亮度无关，并且其中一些神经元对引发反应的图案成分无反应。大多数对两种或三种图案有反应的神经元的活动取决于图案形状，而不是图案的习得意义。
