Using high-field magnetic resonance to reveal the distribution of fine representations within face-processing brain regions

There is a close relationship between brain function and anatomy

Exploring the small-scale organization within centimeter-scale neural nuclei requires neuroimaging with high spatial resolution

The results of the study found that within the face-selective nuclei of the right fusiform gyrus, a key brain region for face processing, different face parts do have different neural activation distributions, and this distribution is similar across individuals
