Abstract
Categorizing the objects that we see is a fundamental property of our brain and the brains of other mammals. In their enlightening Perspective, Thorpe and Fabre-Thorpe discuss exciting new findings in monkeys ( Freedman et al.) that identify neurons in the prefrontal cortex that are primarily responsible for categorizing objects.Keywords
