Abstract
The integration of facial gestures and vocal signals is an essential process in social communication. Facial and vocal signals provide an abundant source of information that we use in our everyday interactions to communicate our intentions and obtain emotional and cognitive information from others. Face–voice integration relies on several brain regions, including language regions in the ventral frontal lobe. Neuroimaging has made great strides in describing activity in temporal and frontal regions during speech processing, but we have relatively little understanding of the cellular mechanisms that underlie face–voice integration in the frontal lobe. Much of the neurophysiology research into the cellular details of face and voice processing has been focused on nonhuman primates in an attempt to characterize the neural circuit involved in social communication. While much of this research has elaborated on these sensory processes in primary and secondary cortical areas, more recent research has embarked upon how higher order cortical areas like the prefrontal cortex process face and voice information. This chapter will focus on the role of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex in the processing and integration of face and vocal information in nonhuman primates. We will first describe studies on face-responsive cells in the nonhuman primate cortex, including inferotemporal cortex and the STS and finally face processing in PFC. This will be followed by auditory responses in PFC. Finally, we will examine the integration of faces and voices by single cells in the primate prefrontal cortex and their potential role in recognition and social communication.
