The extent of visuospatial context associated with a scene view modulates place memory area activation during recall. A, For each participant, we compared activation of individually localized scene perception and place memory areas across the visuospatial context conditions during recall using an ANOVA with ROI (perception/memory area), visuospatial context (image [i], panorama [p], street [s]), and hemisphere as factors. Across all cortical surfaces, the place memory area activation was modulated by spatial context to a greater degree than the scene perception areas. Gray dots indicate individual participants. See Figure 5 for control areas. B, Time course of activation during recall (in seconds) shows differential responses of the scene perception and place memory areas. On all cortical surfaces, the place memory areas showed robust activation during recall (4-12 s), while the scene perception areas on the ventral and lateral surfaces did not. Gray lines indicate SEM at each TR (2 s). *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.005.
