Functional areas for face recognition and face processing.




Figure 2: Brain regions central in face perception, as outlined and studied in this thesis.
Upper left: typical MRI-image of the right side of the brain, displaying several brain regions important in face perception. Locations of the coronal sections in A, B and C are shown.
Amy=amygdala; IFG=inferior frontal gyrus; Ins=insula; latFG=lateral fusiform
gyrus; pIPG=posterior inferior parietal gyrus; STS=superior temporal sulcus.



Several brain regions central infacial expression production, as outlinedand studied in this thesis. Left: typical MRIimageof the right side of the brain. Right:typical MRI image of the brain from above.M1=primary motorcortex; PM=premotorcortex; SMA=supplementary motor area;pre-SMA=pre-supplementary motor area.
