The Yellow and Red Areas Show Right Hemisphere Brain Regions That Prefer Looking at Faces

Caption

The yellow and red areas show right hemisphere brain regions that prefer looking at faces (left column) or scenes (right column) more than objects in control and developmental prosopagnosia (DP) participants. The left panels display the outside of the right hemisphere, and the right panels display the inner side of the right hemisphere. The location of selective areas (yellow and red) in controls and DPs was similar for both categories, but the DPs had noticeably weaker activations and smaller area sizes.
