Fig. 2: Location of place-memory activity in relation to known functional and anatomical landmarks.

a The place-memory areas are anterior to and have minimal overlap with retinotopic cortex. We conducted a group analysis of the place-memory localizer (place > people memory recall; thresholded at vertex-wise t > 7.3, p = 1e−6) and compared the resulting activation to the most probable location of the cortical retinotopic maps using the atlas (overlaid) from Wang et al. (2015)42. The peak of place-memory activity was anterior toretinotopic maps on the lateral and ventral surfaces and there was very little overlap between place-memory activity and retinotopic maps. b The place-memory areas fall at the intersection between anatomical parcels known to be involved in visual processing and those associated with spatial memory. Comparing the peaks of place-memory activity with parcels from Glasser et al. 43 (overlaid) revealed that the place-memory areas fell at the intersection of parcels associated with visual and spatial processing. Activation maps are replotted in panels a and b to allow comparison between parcellations.
