Jennifer Aniston neuron is part of a distributed circuit

In awake epilepsy-surgery patients, a recorded cell in the face-processing region fired specifically for Jennifer Aniston's picture (not for Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, or Aniston-with-Pitt), and a separate cell responded to both Bill Clinton's picture and his signature—but no single cell is in charge; concept recognition is encoded by a distributed circuit of cells, and each cell, receiving 10,000 inputs, participates in millions of circuits.
