Question

(4) next, you want to turn on neurons to make people see visual objects that they have expertise with from when they were young. which brain region should you stimulate?

lateral geniculate nucleus (lgn) of the thalamus

primary visual cortex (v1)

visual motion area (mt)

ventral tegmental area (vta)

ventral temporal cortex (vtc) / fusiform face area (ffa)

Explanation:

The ventral temporal cortex (VTC) / fusiform face area (FFA) is involved in object - recognition and expertise in visual objects. The LGN is a relay center for visual information, V1 is the primary area for basic visual processing, MT is for visual motion processing, and VTA is related to reward and motivation, not object - expertise.

Answer:

ventral temporal cortex (VTC) / fusiform face area (FFA)
