Effects of a VWFA Lesion

Description
The scans show responses of brain regions to houses, words, faces, and tools before and after surgical removal of a small region of the VWFA. Note that the response to words (dark blue) is lost, but responses to faces, houses, and tools remains. The lesion is indicated by the green arrowheads.
