Schematic illustration of key brain areas involved in the perception of human bodies, body parts, and bodily movements. The extrastriate body area (EBA) is located in the inferior temporal sulcus, and the fusiform body area (FBA) in the lateral fusiform gyrus. Both regions respond strongly and selectively to static and dynamic images of human bodies and body parts. A region in the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) responds preferentially to human biological motion.
