“…Although the object classification task that participants performed did not 7 This finding of no significant activation difference for novel objects compared with different object exemplars in right posterior inferior frontal cortex (BA 44) is broadly consistent with neuropsychological evidence and recent fMRI findings [see [30,63,65]] demonstrating material specificity effects in left vs. right prefrontal regions, such that right prefrontal areas are particularly recruited for the processing of nonverbal materials and left prefrontal areas for verbal materials. Indeed, to the extent that right prefrontal regions may also have been more sensitive to alterations in the precise perceptual form of objects than left prefrontal regions, an interaction of object type (same/different) and hemisphere (right/left) might have been expected.…”

“…Neuropsychological evidence from patients with damage to occipitotemporal cortex leading to an impaired ability to recognize faces (prosopagnosia) is also consistent with the notion that areas of right occipitotemporal cortex may be particularly sensitive to alterations in exemplar form. In a number of cases, damage to these regions also impaired within-category or item-specific visual object recognition, with such item-specific impairments particularly (although not exclusively) found for lesions in the right hemisphere [7,17,18,23,69]. The work of Gabrieli and colleagues [21,62], demonstrating impaired visual form specific priming for words in a patient with right occipital resection (performed as treatment for intractable epilepsy, and including Brodmann areas 17 and 18 and a part of area 19) also points to the possible role of the right hemisphere in contributing to visual form specific priming.…”

“…Prosopagnosia extends sometimes to non-human faces for which the patient previously had a particular expertise (Bornstein, Sroka, & Munitz, 1969). Sometimes prosopagnosics regain animal face recognition while human face recognition remains impaired McNeil & Warrington, 1993).…”

“…This theory is supported by neuropsychological data which ®nds that most prosopagnosic patients do not show agnosia purely for faces but also for other intra-category discriminations. For example there are reported prosopagnosic farmers who could no longer discriminate between their cows [1,3] or ornithologists who could no longer identify di erent birds [2]. There are a few cases, however, where the de®cit is found for human faces despite an intact ability to identify other animal faces such as cows [5] or sheep [23].…”
