Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, logician, and engineer who made significant contributions to numerous fields of mathematics and science. Born in Basel, Switzerland, Euler's prolific output, totaling over 800 publications, has earned him a reputation as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

Euler's contributions to mathematics are vast and varied, encompassing areas such as calculus, number theory, graph theory, geometry, and mathematical analysis. He developed important concepts and notation that are still used today, including the notation for functions (f(x)), the symbol "e" for the base of the natural logarithm, and the Greek letter sigma (Σ) for summation.

Among Euler's many achievements are his solutions to the famous Seven Bridges of Königsberg problem, his work on the Basel problem leading to the discovery of the value of the Riemann zeta function at even positive integers (π²/6), and his groundbreaking work in graph theory, laying the foundations for the field.

Euler also made significant contributions to physics, fluid dynamics, astronomy, and engineering. His studies in mechanics and celestial mechanics helped advance understanding in these fields, while his work on optics and acoustics furthered knowledge in the natural sciences.

Beyond his mathematical and scientific accomplishments, Euler was known for his exceptional productivity, working tirelessly despite losing his vision in one eye later in life. His works continue to influence mathematics and science today, and his legacy remains celebrated in the scientific community.

The Cartesian took the floor and said: "The soul is a pure spirit that has received in the belly of its mother all metaphysical ideas, and which, leaving that place, is obliged to go to school, and to learn all over again what it already knew, and will not know again."

"It is not worth the trouble," responded the animal with the height of eight leagues, "for your soul to be so knowledgeable in its mother's stomach, only to be so ignorant when you have hair on your chin. But what do you understand by the mind?"

"You are asking me?" said the reasoner. "I have no idea. We say that it is not matter."

"But do you at least know what matter is?"

"Certainly," replied the man. "For example this stone is grey, has such and such a form, has three dimensions, is heavy and divisible."

"Well!" said the Sirian, "this thing that appears to you to be divisible, heavy, and grey, will you tell me what it is? You see some attributes, but behind those, are you familiar with that?

"No," said the other.

"So you do not know what matter is."

The fusiform face area (FFA) is a region of the human brain, located in the fusiform gyrus of the temporal lobe. It is primarily associated with the processing and recognition of faces.

Research using techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has consistently shown increased activity in the fusiform face area when individuals are presented with images of faces compared to other objects or stimuli. This specialization suggests that the FFA plays a critical role in the neural circuitry underlying face perception.

While the exact mechanisms of how the FFA processes facial information are not fully understood, it is believed to be involved in various aspects of face processing, including holistic face perception (viewing faces as integrated wholes rather than individual features), face identification, discrimination between different faces, and emotional expressions.

Additionally, studies have shown that damage or dysfunction in the FFA “module” can lead to impairments in face recognition abilities, a condition known as prosopagnosia (cf. localisation of function). Individuals with prosopagnosia may struggle to recognize familiar faces, including those of friends, family members, and even themselves, despite having intact vision and cognitive functions in other domains.

Overall, the fusiform face area represents a crucial neural substrate for the specialized processing of facial information in the human brain, contributing significantly to our ability to perceive, recognize, and interact with others based on their facial features.
