Textural metaphor and texture perception activations. Axial slices showing (a) textural metaphor activations (green) overlaid on the same individuals’ haptic (red) and visual (yellow) texture-selective regions. Overlap zones between these activations (brown) are seen only in the parietal operculum (right OP1 and left OP3 are shown; the overlap in left OP1 was on a more superior axial slice that is not illustrated). Textural metaphor activations do not overlap with other haptic, visual, or multisensory (orange) texture-selective regions in either frontal cortex (bilateral inferior frontal sulcus and gyrus) or (b) visual cortex (MOC: medial occipital cortex; CaS: calcarine sulcus). VT: visual texture; HT: haptic texture; TM: textural metaphor. Talairach z plane shown for each slice; color scale: t-scales for the contrasts.
