Is the cerebral processing of categorical and coordinate spatial relations based on different or identical but differentially activated functional networks?

The fundamental hypothesis related to the distinction between categorical and coordinate processing has been that these two types of spatial relations coding are qualitatively different. Based on Kosslyn’s initial hemispheric specialization theory, they also are hypothesized to rely on different functional networks in the brain which are supposed to have evolved in a way to take advantage of more fundamental hemispheric specializations in order to adapt these hemispheric strengths to the processing of the two different types of spatial relations.
