Multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) reveals abnormal fMRI activity in both the core and extended face network in congenital prosopagnosia

The ability to identify faces is mediated by a network of cortical and subcortical brain regions in humans. It is still a matter of debate which regions represent the functional substrate of congenital prosopagnosia (CP), a condition characterized by a lifelong impairment in face recognition, and af...
