Species-specific response to human infant faces in the premotor cortex
Open accessAbstract
The human infant face represents an essential source of communicative signals on the basis of which adults modulate their interactions with infants. Behavioral studies demonstrate that infants' faces activate sensitive and attuned responses in adults through their gaze, face expression, voice, and gesture. In this study we aimed to identify brain responses that underlie adults' general propensity to respond to infant faces. We recorded fMRI during adults' (non-parents) processing of unfamiliar infant faces compared to carefully matched adult faces and infrahuman mammal infant and adult faces. Human infant faces activated several brain systems including the lateral premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, cingulate cortex, anterior insula and the thalamus. Activation of these brain circuits suggests adults' preparation for communicative behavior with infants as well as attachment and caregiving. The same brain regions preferentially responded to human infant faces when compared to animal infant faces, indicating species-specific adult brain responses. Moreover, results of support vector machine based classification analysis indicated that these regions allowed above chance-level prediction of brain state during perception of human infant faces. The complex of brain responses to human infant faces appears to include biological mechanisms that underlie responsiveness and a caring inclination toward young children which appear to transcend adult's biological relationship to the baby.

Facial photographs of dogs and cats elicit cuteness perception from humans but do not highly activate the brain's reward system, unlike facial photographs of human babies.
“those of dogs and cats elicit cuteness perception from humans but do not highly activate the brain's reward system [47,48].”

The brain responds differentially to infant relative to adult human and adult and infant animal faces in non-parents, in regions including lateral premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, cingulate cortex, anterior insula, and thalamus (Caria et al., 2012).
“Neuroimaging also suggests that the brain responds differentially to infant, relative to adult human and adult and infant animal faces, in non–parents, in regions including lateral premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, cingulate cortex, anterior insula and thalamus (Caria et al., 2012).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
