Note: A subset of participants (n = 7) participated in a category localizer to functionally define tool areas within the inferior parietal lobule (anterior intraparietal sulcus), the posterior middle temporal gyrus, and the medial fusiform gyrus. These regions were defined as a 6 mm-radius sphere centered on the peak coordinate showing greater activation to tools compared with animals. aIPS, anterior intraparietal sulcus; pMTG, posterior middle temporal gyrus; mFG, medial fusiform gyrus.
