Regions in human lateral and ventral occipitotemporal cortices (OTC) respond selectively to
pictures of the human body and its parts. What are the organizational principles underlying …

Large-scale topographic representations of the body have long been established in the
somatosensory and motor cortices. Using functional imaging, we identified a topographically …

The organizational principles of the object space represented in the human ventral visual
cortex are debated. Here we contrast two prominent proposals that, in addition to an …

Neurophysiological and functional imaging studies have investigated the representation of
animate and inanimate stimulus classes in monkey inferior temporal (IT) and human occipito …

Behavioral studies suggested that bodies are represented as wholes rather than in a part-
based manner. However, neural selectivity for body stimuli is found for both whole bodies …

This study examined the contributions of two previously identified brain regions—the
extrastriate and fusiform body areas (EBA and FBA)—to the visual representation of the …

The cerebellum is known to contain a double somatotopic body representation. While the
anterior lobe body map has shown a robust somatotopic organization in previous fMRI …

The question of whether the neural encodings of objects are similar across different people
is one of the key questions in cognitive neuroscience. This article examines the …

Functional imaging studies in humans and monkeys have shown category-selective regions
in the temporal cortex, in particular for faces and bodies. Although the body-selective …

Humans can recognize common objects by touch extremely well whenever vision is
unavailable. Despite its importance to a thorough understanding of human object …
