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. ==External links== * [http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/hyperbrain/photos/sob04342.jpg Image at University of Utah] {{Prosencephalon}} [[Category:Cerebrum]] [[ja:下側頭回]]
