abstract = {Part of the ventral temporal lobe is thought to be critical for face
perception, but what determines this specialization remains unknown.
We present evidence that expertise recruits the fusiform gyrus 'face
area'. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure
changes associated with increasing expertise in brain areas selected
for their face preference. Acquisition of expertise with novel objects
(greebles) led to increased activation in the right hemisphere face
areas for matching of upright greebles as compared to matching inverted
greebles. The same areas were also more activated in experts than
in novices during passive viewing of greebles. Expertise seems to
be one factor that leads to specialization in the face area.},
