It’s processing is feasible due to development of dedicated neuronal system. Some species including sheep and non humans primates posses the ability of face recognition and recognition of facial expression. Face-processing abilities were detected in newborns. It may suggest that humans born with basic dispositions for face recognition which subsequently develop as a result of exposition to faces of other people. Results of brain lesion studies and brain imagining led to development of models of neural system for face perception. It consist of occipital visual cortex, and cortical areas specialized for invariant aspacts of faces (lateral fusiform gyrus) and changeable aspects of faces (superior temporal sulcus) and limbic system involved in processing emotion. Ability for facial emotion recognition is an important part of social; cognition. Recent studies provide evidence suggesting impaired facial emotion recognition in patients with schizophrenia, autism and depression. It has been hypothesized that these deficits are caused by structural and functional abnormalities in brain structures mediating face perception.
