Visual areas PPA and pSTS diverge from other processing modules during perceptual closure: Functional dichotomies within category selective networks

We found that pSTS is a notable exception to the observation that category selective high-level visual areas also participate on the perceptual closure of their non-preferred category. A similar observation was found for PPA responses to faces. Most importantly, these observations directly link the pSTS region with the social processing network, which cannot be engaged by object stimuli.
