DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhv225
Abstract: Abstract Areas of the fusiform gyrus (FG) within human ventral temporal cortex (VTC) process high‐level visual information associated with faces, limbs, words, and places. Since classical cytoarchitectonic maps do not adequately reflect the functional and… read more here.
