Representation of semantic relationships of famous people and places in category-sensitive functional ROIs defined from a separate one-back task. A, Person-sensitive ROIs showing a stronger response to faces than places and objects. B, Place-sensitive ROIs showing a stronger response to places than to faces and objects. C, RSA of person-sensitive regions was used to identify regions that represent the semantic similarity of famous people, after controlling for visual similarity. Only ATFA patterns showed a unique correlation with the semantic model. Left, Person-sensitive regions. Right, Place-sensitive regions. D, For famous places, similarity of activation patterns in OFA, FFA, OPA, PPA, and RSC correlated with semantic similarity after controlling for visual similarity. E, We tested whether any regions represented geographical distance between locations. RSC and FFA pattern dissimilarity correlated with the geographic distance between landmarks, after controlling for the other models. Points represent individual participant z statistics. Error bars indicate 95% CIs. *FDR q < 0.1.
