Here, we examined 12 category-selective regions across 4 experiments using peripherally presented faces, bodies, houses, and scenes, to measure the difference in contralateral bias between preferred and nonpreferred stimuli. The results showed a substantial range of contralateral biases across the category-selective regions, similar to prior studies using category-selective stimuli [Silson, E. H., Groen, I.

A retinotopic basis for the division of high-level scene processing between lateral and ventral human occipitotemporal cortex. Journal of Neuroscience, 35, 11921\u201311935, 2015]. These contralateral biases were stronger in the left hemisphere regions than right, an asymmetry that was unchanged even when participants performed an attentionally demanding task. Thus, corresponding pairs of category-selective regions (e.g., left fusiform face area [lFFA] and right FFA [rFFA]) do not appear to be mirror images of each other; instead, the right hemisphere regions engage in greater integration of information from the two hemifields. The rFFA and right fusiform body area\u2014both located on the right lateral fusiform gyrus\u2014consistently had the weakest contralateral biases. That this asymmetry was most pronounced in the fusiform gyrus may account for why a unilateral lesion to the rFFA but not the lFFA can produce prosopagnosia. Together, our findings demonstrate that category-selective areas show pronounced differences in the extent of their contralateral biases and that a consistent asymmetry in the strength of the contralateral biases exists between the two hemispheres.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn_a_01995","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]],"date-time":"2023-04-13T14:07:57Z","timestamp":1681394877000},"page":"1154-1168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Contralateral
