Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FFA (Fusiform Face Area) is a region of the brain located in the fusiform gyrus that is specialized for face recognition and responds preferentially to faces. LGN (Lateral Geniculate Nucleus) is a region of the thalamus that processes visual information from the retina. LLA (Lower Lateral Area) and PPA (Parahippocampal Place Area) are also regions of the brain involved in visual processing, but are specialized for processing places and scenes, rather than faces.
