The parahippocampal place area (PPA) is associated with perceiving and recognizing places, such as houses. The fusiform face area (FFA) is associated with perceiving and recognizing faces. Therefore, when the person perceived a house in the study by Tong et al., activity in the PPA would be expected to increase, but not necessarily in the FFA.
