This part of the brain is called the anterior cingulate gyrus.

Again, I'm putting your anterior cingulate cortex to the test here, causing you conflicting pattern detections.

There is an area in the anterior part of this gyrus where teeth and eyes are represented, and that part of the gyrus is activated when people get the deformed hallucinations.

And in particular, one area of the temporal lobe is called the fusiform gyrus.

OK. Now that syndrome is well known as caused by damage to the fusiform gyrus.

And it's known that if people have damage in the fusiform gyrus, they maybe lose the ability to recognize faces.

See, our pattern detection device, which appears to be located in the anterior cingulate cortex it's our little detection device there can be easily fooled, and this is the problem.

So, we found that the color area and the number area are right next to each other in the brain, in the fusiform gyrus.

When he was trading fours with me, improvising versus memorized, his language areas lit up, his Broca's area, which is inferior frontal gyrus on the left.

Well, we know exactly where it happens, in the temporal lobe, right across, sort of above your ear there, in a little structure called the fusiform gyrus.

And if you look, tucked away inside the inner surface of the temporal lobes you can't see it there is a little structure called the fusiform gyrus.

But if there is an abnormal activity in the fusiform gyrus, they may hallucinate faces, and this is exactly what you find in some of these people.

Something very interesting is going on here in the angular gyrus, because it's the crossroads between hearing, vision and touch, and it became enormous in humans. And something very interesting is going on.

There are, in fact, 30 areas in the back of your brain concerned with just vision, and after processing all that, the message goes to a small structure called the fusiform gyrus, where you perceive faces.

It's a primitive form of abstraction, and we now know this happens in the fusiform gyrus of the brain, because when that's damaged, these people lose the ability to engage in Buba Kiki, but they also lose the ability to engage in metaphor.

Within the hippocampus a curved elongated ridge located in each of the brain's two temporal lobes is a structure called the dentate gyrus, which produces new neurons throughout adult life. Chronic stress inhibits neurogenesis and also causes many hippocampal neurons to shrink a process called remodeling.

So my idea was, when this chap looks at an object, when he looks at his any object for that matter, it goes to the visual areas and, however, and it's processed in the fusiform gyrus, and you recognize it as a pea plant, or a table, or your mother, for that matter, OK?
