Extrastriatal gyrus {fusiform gyrus}| in middle and inferior ventral temporal lobe and ventral occipital lobe stores categories, shapes, and patterns. Fusiform gyrus contains area V4, which detects color. A fusiform-gyrus region {fusiform face area} can detect faces [Cowey and Heywood, 1997] [Damasio et al., 1980] [Gallant et al., 2000] [Hadjikhani et al., 1998] [Haxby et al., 2000] [Kanwisher et al., 1997] [Meadows, 1974] [Ramachandran, 2004] [Sakai et al., 1995] [Tong et al., 2000] [Tootell and Hadjikhani, 2001] [Vuilleumier et al., 2001] [Wade et al., 2002] [Zeki, 1990] [Zeki et al., 1991] [Zeki et al., 1998].
