No about face on houses in the fusiform face area!
Yovel and Kanwisher (this issue of Neuron) altered upright and inverted face and house characteristics during a same-different task. The right fusiform face area (FFA) was more active to faces than houses but, unlike behavior, was unaffected by spatial configuration or parts manipulations. These data raise interesting questions regarding the relationship of brain activation to observed behavior.
