The MFS: A landmark identifying microarchitectonic and functional transitions in VTC of non-human hominoids? (A) Using cortex-based alignment (CBA), the probabilistic cortical location of four cytoarchitectonic areas (across 10 individuals; from Caspers et al. 2012; Weiner et al. 2014, 2017; Lorenz et al. 2015) within the human FG (areas FG1, FG2, FG3, and FG4) were projected to an average of 30 chimpanzee cortical surfaces. (B) Using CBA, the probabilistic cortical location of face- (mFus-faces and pFus-faces) and place-selective (CoS-places) regions from 12 individuals (from Weiner et al. 2017) were projected to the same average cortical surface as in (A). (A,B) are cytoarchitectonic and functional parcellations of chimpanzee VTC predicted by cytoarchitectonic and functional parcellations of human VTC, respectively. Future studies can leverage the fact that the MFS predicts the location of cytoarchitectonic and functional regions in humans to directly compare micro- and macroanatomical features of these areas between species. CoS collateral sulcus, FG fusiform gyrus, mFus mid-fusiform, pFus posterior fusiform. Dotted white line: mid-fusiform sulcus.
