We isolated brain areas activated during the viewing of point-light figures, then compared those areas to regions known to be involved in coherent-motion perception and kinetic-boundary perception. Coherent motion activated a region matching previous reports of human MT\/MST complex located on the temporo-parieto-occipital junction. Kinetic boundaries activated a region posterior and adjacent to human MT previously identified as the kinetic-occipital (KO) region or the lateral-occipital (LO) complex. The pattern of activation during viewing of biological motion was located within a small region on the ventral bank of the occipital extent of the superior-temporal sulcus (STS). This region is located lateral and anterior to human MT\/MST, and anterior to KO. Among our observers, we localized this region more frequently in the right hemisphere than in the left. This was true regardless of whether the point-light figures were presented in the right or left hemifield. A small region in the medial cerebellum was also active when observers viewed biological-motion sequences. Consistent with earlier neuroimaging and single-unit studies, this pattern of results points to the existence of neural mechanisms specialized for analysis of the kinematics defining biological motion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/089892900562417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T11:57:56Z","timestamp":1027771076000},"page":"711-720","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":726,"title":["Brain Areas Involved in Perception of Biological Motion"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Grossman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Donnelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Price","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Pickens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Neighbor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Blake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"281","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"p_27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0042-6989(89)90042-4"},{"key":"p_33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.92.4.993"},{"key":"p_46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0096-1523.15.4.826"},{"key":"p_57","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.95.19.11489"}],"container-title":["Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/direct.mit.edu\/jocn\/article-pdf\/12\/5\/711\/1933629\/089892900562417.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"http:\/\/direct.mit.edu\/jocn\/article-pdf\/12\/5\/711\/1933629\/089892900562417.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T16:41:57Z","timestamp":1627404117000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/direct.mit.edu\/jocn\/article\/12\/5\/711\/3471\/Brain-Areas-Involved-in-Perception-of-Biological"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000,9,1]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,9,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2000,9,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/089892900562417","relation":{},"ISSN":["0898-929X","1530-8898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0898-929X","type":"print"},{"value":"1530-8898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2000,9]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2000,9,1]]}}}
