Summary of the present study. The supramodal subregion of the EBA is located in the middle temporal gyrus and angular gyrus, whereas the more inferior regions (the middle occipital gyrus and inferior temporal sulcus) were affected by visual experience. The activation patterns are superimposed on a surface-rendered T1-weighted high-resolution MRI averaged across the subjects. STS, Superior temporal sulcus; ITS, inferior temporal sulcus.
