Excited to share some new work from the lab at SfN this year! #sfn25

Person-preferring areas corresponded closely to DN-B. Place-preferring areas were predominantly observed in DN-A, with responses additionally observed in VIS-P and dATN-A/B (if you’ve already seen our preprint, skip to Fig 4 for these new results) 9/

Areas preferring people or places were functionally connected across frontal, parietal, and temporal cortex, with each system reaching the apex of a unimodal-to-transmodal gradient 8/

We found that separate areas of association cortex responded to task conditions involving people or places, respectively 6/

We tested this view with a precision fMRI approach, scanning individuals while performing visual, semantic, and episodic tasks involving familiar people or places, or generic objects 5/

Thrilled that this work is (finally) out! We argue that the human brain contains parallel systems for understanding people and places.
