Summary

A remarkable subset of MTL neurons are selectively activated by strikingly different pictures of given individuals, landmarks or objects and in some cases even by letter strings with their names, which suggest an invariant, sparse and explicit code, which might be important in the transformation of complex visual percepts into long-term and more abstract memories.
