Key Points

This research aims to explore the causal relationship between neural activity in gloss-selective regions and object glossiness judgment in macaques.
Conducted experiments on macaques to manipulate neural activity in gloss-selective cortical regions.
Assessed the impact of altered neural responses on the monkeys' glossiness judgment behaviors.
Investigated the neural networks involved in processing gloss information.
Artificial manipulation of neural activity in the ventral temporal cortex affects gloss judgment behavior in macaques.
Found significant changes in judgments of glossiness based on neural activity adjustments.
Revealed that specific neural populations are crucial for gloss perception processing.
