Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parahippocampal place area (PPA) is a brain region that is strongly activated when viewing scenes, such as buildings or landscapes. The fusiform face area (FFA) is specifically activated when viewing faces, not buildings. The prehippocampal processing area and occipital cortex are involved in processing visual information in general, but not specifically related to buildings.
