View-invariant object representation in anterior and posterior inferotemporal cortex: A machine learning approach.
Article in IBRO neuroscience reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Inferotemporal (IT) cortex is the final visual area in the ventral stream where object information is processed. Previous electrophysiological studies showed viewing angle tolerance of 30-60° of single IT cells to the objects experienced in discrimination at each of several viewing angles, and to the objects experienced in learning association of different views. IT is divided into anterior (cytoarchitectonic area TE) and posterior (TEO) parts. It was reported that single cells in area TE showed the viewing angle tolerance while those in area TEO did not. In the present study population activities were compared between cell populations in area TE and those in area TEO using machine learning algorithm. An object set consisted of four similar objects created by deforming a prototype object, and four views each separated by 30°. A population vector was created by aligning responses of the cells to each object image. A classifier was trained by support vector machine (SVM) to create a hyperplane that separated one object from the other three objects at the same viewing angles, and then tested by response vectors to the object images at different viewing angles. In area TE, dynamics of the performance evaluated by d' showed viewing angle tolerance of 30-90° to the objects with prior experience in learning association of different views. In area TEO, populations of the cells showed the viewing angle tolerance of 30°. Significant increase of the d' values in area TE in the late time period for the objects with prior experience in learning association of different views may suggest view-invariance is more represented in late time period than early time period. These results suggest that viewpoint invariance is expressed more strongly in the TE region, and expressed in part in the population of the TEO cells.
