Fig. 2. The unified neural model of face processing. MT sends input to the dorsal face areas (i.e., STS-FA and IFG-FA) for facial motion processing, and to the ventral face areas (i.e., OFA and FFA) for structure-from-motion analysis. The dorsal face areas are responsible for facial motion and changeable facial aspects, while the ventral face areas are responsible for facial form processing of static and dynamic faces. MT: middle temporal visual area, STS-FA: superior temporal sulcus face area, IFG-FA: inferior frontal gyrus face area, OFA: occipital face area, FFA: fusiform face area.
