The '''inferior temporal gyrus''' is placed below the [[middle temporal sulcus]], and is connected behind with the [[inferior occipital gyrus]]; it also extends around the infero-lateral border on to the inferior surface of the [[temporal lobe]], where it is limited by the [[inferior sulcus]]. This region is one of the higher levels of the [[ventral stream]] of visual processing, associated with the representation of complex object features, such as global shape. It may also be involved in face perception.
