为了检查面部处理中面部反应区域的特异性，我们使用功能磁共振成像来测量梭状回和颞上沟（STS）对人脸、动物、无脸动物和房屋图片的反应。结果表明，面孔、动物和无面孔动物都比房屋引起更大的活动，并且在外侧梭状回、双侧和右后 STS 中具有相同的激活峰值。此外，在梭状回外侧，对面孔、动物和无脸动物的反应都大于梭状回内侧对这些刺激的反应，该区域对其他物体（例如房屋）的反应更强烈。这些发现表明，动物梭状回和后 STS 中的神经表征强烈依赖于代表面部的相同神经基质。 (C) 1999 年利平科特·威廉姆斯和威尔金斯。
To examine the specificity of face-responsive regions for face processing, we used fMRI to measure the response of the fusiform gyrus and the superior temporal sulcus (STS) to pictures of human faces, animals, faceless animals, and houses. Results indicate that faces, animals, and faceless animals all elicited greater activity than houses, and had identical peaks of activation in the lateral fusiform gyrus, bilaterally, and in the right posterior STS. Moreover, within the lateral fusiform gyrus the, responses to faces, animals and faceless animals were all greater than the responses to these stimuli in the medial aspect of the fusiform gyrus, a region that responds more strongly to other objects (e.g. houses). These findings suggest that the neural respresentation of animals in the fusiform gyrus and the posterior STS suggest that the neural representation of relies strongly on the same neural substrates that represent faces.
