The cortical representation of concepts varies according to the information critical for their development. Living categories, being mainly based upon visual information, are bilaterally represented in the rostral parts of the ventral stream of visual processing; whereas tools, being mainly based upon action data, are unilaterally represented in a left-sided fronto-parietal network. The unilateral representation of tools results from involvement in actions of the right side of the body.
概念的皮质代表根据其发展的关键信息而有所不同。生活范畴主要基于视觉信息，在视觉处理腹侧流的前部呈现双侧分布；而工具主要基于动作数据，在左侧额顶网络中呈现单侧分布。工具的单侧分布源于身体右侧参与动作的结果。
