人类和动物比垂直镜像更容易混淆横向镜像，如字母“b”和“d”，而不是垂直镜像，如字母“b”和“p”。为了找到这种现象的神经关联，进行了实验。猕猴下颞叶皮质的视觉反应模式选择神经元对侧向镜像对成员的反应比对垂直镜像对成员的反应更相似。这种现象在视觉反应开始后的20毫秒内就出现了，并一直持续到结束。它发生在中心凹和周边的刺激呈现时。
Humans and animals confuse Lateral mirror images, such as the Letters "b" and "d," more often than vertical mirror images, such as the Letters "b" and "p," Experiments were performed to find a neural correlate of this phenomenon. Visually responsive pattern-selective neurons in the inferotemporal cortex of macaque monkeys responded more similarly to members of a Lateral mirror-image pair than to members of a vertical mirror-image pair. The phenomenon developed within 20 milliseconds of the onset of the visual response and persisted to its end. It occurred during presentation of stimuli both at the fovea and in the periphery.
