fusiform gyrus

There was also found to be an increased grey matter volume in the right fusiform gyrus.

It is located in the fusiform gyrus (Brodmann area 37).

The lateral fusiform gyrus is a facial recognition area of the brain.

This suggests that the fusiform gyrus may have a general role in the recognition of similar visual objects.

Abnormalities of the fusiform gyrus have also been linked to Williams syndrome.

However, there is activity near the fusiform gyrus, as well as in occipital areas.

When you're looking at a face, the fusiform gyrus, located in the temporal lobe, is stimulated.

In the temporal lobe, damage to the fusiform gyrus can lead to the inability to recognize faces.

Some researchers think that the fusiform gyrus may be related to the disorder known as prosopagnosia, or face blindness.

Fusiform gyrus has also been involved in the perception of emotions in facial stimuli.

For example, in the fusiform gyrus, a neuron may only fire when a certain face appears in its receptive field.

The right fusiform gyrus has been revealed to show activation to visual stimuli such as faces and representational art.

The fusiform gyrus is part of the temporal lobe of the brain

The right inferior temporal/fusiform gyrus responds selectively to faces but not to non-faces.

In non-autistic subjects, a brain area called the fusiform gyrus is activated in response to the human face.

The results of the experiment showed that there was a significant increase of activity in the fusiform gyrus when the subject viewed the color image.

Another aspect that affects both the fusiform gyrus and the amygdala activation is the familiarity of faces.

Recent research has seen activation of the fusiform gyrus during subjective grapheme-color perception in people with synaesthesia.

Cerebral achromatopsia occurs after injury to the lingual or fusiform gyrus, the areas associated with hV4.

The specific brain area usually associated with prosopagnosia is the fusiform gyrus, which activates specifically in response to faces.

The FFA is located in the lateral fusiform gyrus.

Grapheme-color synesthetes tend to have an increased thickness, volume, and surface area of the fusiform gyrus.

This role of the anterior fusiform gyrus may correlate to higher processing of the word's concept and meaning.

However, individuals with autism show little to no activation in the fusiform gyrus in response to seeing a human face
