Brain connectivity for constructing new face representations in typical adults versus a prosopagnosic patient by Ela I. Olivares, Jorge F. Bosch-Bayard, Ana S. Urraca, Alba Jiménez-Bascuñán, Rolando J. Biscay, Jaime Iglesias

“…Initial presentation of external features (E before I), when compared to internal ones, triggered connections encompassing extensively the right-hemisphere face processing pathway [from posterior visual cortices for initial structural analysis, towards both intermediate (occipitotemporal) and high-level (prefrontal) relay stations], in which face-identity is thought to emerge progressively. Also, whereas exposure to internal features as second stimulus seemed to demand some sort of basic visual processing, external features triggered again more widespread and integrative connections. …”
