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

One of these regions is called the left inferior frontal gyrus.

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

Average likelihood is 30 percent, the left inferior frontal gyrus would respond fiercely.

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.

On the other side of the brain, the right inferior frontal gyrus was responding to bad news.

like the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex or the superior temporal gyrus, there is a profound loss of gray matter.

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

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

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.

And what he's doing is he's passing a small magnetic pulse through the skull of the participant in our study into their inferior frontal gyrus.

The other one is the frontal lobe, which controls how we sustain attention, and another one is the anterior cingulate, which controls how we allocate and regulate attention and resolve conflict.

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.

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

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.

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 it didn't matter if you're an extreme optimist, a mild optimist or slightly pessimistic, everyone's left inferior frontal gyrus was functioning perfectly well, whether you're Barack Obama or Woody Allen.

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.

And you see activity in some regions we've seen today, medial prefrontal cortex, dorsomedial, however, up here, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, an area that's involved in lots of types of conflict resolution, like if you're playing Simon Says, and also the right and left temporoparietal junction.

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 Bouba Kiki, but they also lose the ability to engage in metaphor.

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?
