Anterior superior temporal sulcus is specialized for non-rigid facial motion in both monkeys and humans.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Facial motion plays a fundamental role in the recognition of facial expressions in primates, but the neural substrates underlying this special type of biological motion are not well understood. Here, we used fMRI to investigate the extent to which the specialization for facial motion is represented in the visual system and compared the neural mechanisms for the processing of non-rigid facial motion in macaque monkeys and humans. We defined the areas specialized for facial motion as those significantly more activated when subjects perceived the motion caused by dynamic faces (dynamic faces > static faces) than when they perceived the motion caused by dynamic non-face objects (dynamic objects > static objects). We found that, in monkeys, significant activations evoked by facial motion were in the fundus of anterior superior temporal sulcus (STS), which overlapped the anterior fundus face patch. In humans, facial motion activated three separate foci in the right STS: posterior, middle, and anterior STS, with the anterior STS location showing the most selectivity for facial motion compared with other facial motion areas. In both monkeys and humans, facial motion shows a gradient preference as one progresses anteriorly along the STS. Taken together, our results indicate that monkeys and humans share similar neural substrates within the anterior temporal lobe specialized for the processing of non-rigid facial motion.
