Volume of face-selective activations across the rVTC partitions. ( A ) Anatomical partitions and face activations are rendered on the surface of the right VTC from representative 9- and 36-year-old subjects. Face activations were defined based on selectivity for child faces versus objects ([child faces > cars + novel objects], T > 3); or selectivity for adult faces versus objects ([adult > car + objects], T > 3). The volumes of these activations were separately measured in each anatomical partition. ( B – E ) The total volume of activation to child faces (light bars) and to adult faces (dark bars) is plotted for the lateral fusiform gyrus (lFG), medial fusiform gyrus (mFG), collateral sulcus (CoS), and parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) in the right VTC (rVTC) averaged across 12 children ( B , D ) and 12 adults ( C,E ). ( B,C ) Data from the mid VTC, ( D,E ) from the posterior VTC. Error bars : group SEM.
