Abstract Downing and Peelen argue that the EBA/FBA represent body-part shapes in a highly schematic manner that is independent of personal identity, emotional expression, movement pattern, and action goal, and that cuts across visual and haptic modalities. According to the grounded cognition framework, these properties make the EBA/FBA suitable for processing body-part shapes not only for perceptual purposes but also for conceptual purposes. Any account of the neural substrates of body-part concepts must, however, accommodate significant cross-linguistic diversity in this semantic domain. Hence, an alternative possibility is that the shape components of body-part concepts depend on areas adjacent to the EBA/FBA.
唐宁和皮伦认为，EBA/FBA 以一种高度图式化的方式表示身体部位的形状，这种方式与个人身份、情感表达、运动模式和动作目标无关，也跨越了视觉和触觉模态。根据扎根认知框架，这些特性使得 EBA/FBA 不仅适合于感知目的，也适合于概念目的的身体部位形状处理。然而，任何关于身体部位概念的神经基质的解释都必须适应这个语义领域中显著的跨语言多样性。因此，另一种可能性是，身体部位概念的形状成分取决于 EBA/FBA 相邻的区域。
