Cortical activity during perception of ordinary objects and novel objects.

<p>(A) and (C) Cortical activations associated with perception of ordinary objects compared to baseline. Two regions of activation in the ventral pathway were the right inferior occipital gyrus (rIOG) and the right fusiform gyrus (rFG). (B) and (D) Cortical activations associated with perception of novel objects compared to baseline. The activation region in the ventral pathway was the right limbic lobe parahippocmpal gyrus (rLLPHG). A and B are lateral and back view. C and D are sagittal and coronal sections. The significance thresholds are <i>P</i><0.05 FWE-corrected (the family-wise error) with an extent threshold of 20 contiguous voxels. Functional maps shown at sagittal and coronal sections are overlaid on the T1-weighted images.
