Evidence described in the text indicates that face-selective neurons exist. Is it possible that each person has a subset of neurons that recognize specific faces, such as those of famous people, friends and family members? And, do such specific subsets of neurons recognize more than one face? That is, say, if face-specific neurons A, B, and C recognize your father's face, do these same neurons also recognize your mother's face? And, if one of these subsets of neurons were selectively destroyed, will you still be able to recognize your father's face?
