What has stimulation with electrocorticography electrodes demonstrated about the role of the fusiform face area (FFA) in visual processing?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fusiform face area (FFA) is specifically associated with face perception. Stimulation studies using electrocorticography electrodes have shown that the FFA may be necessary for normal face perception, indicating its specialized role in processing faces, but these studies do not suggest it is necessary for word reading, which is believed to involve different brain areas.
