Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of the brain that is specialized in recognizing faces is the Fusiform gyrus, located in the temporal lobe, particularly in the right hemisphere. The frontal lobe is responsible for higher cognitive processes, such as planning, decision-making, and problem-solving. The parietal lobe is responsible for sensory integration and spatial awareness. The occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing, but not specifically facial recognition.
