Abstract Although attention may play a major role in explaining EBA/FBA activation during high-order, body-related tasks, it is important to establish the functional significance of top-down modulation in different tasks. While neuroimaging studies documented the functional and anatomical specificity of EBA/FBA activation during body form perception, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and brain-lesion studies provided causative evidence that activity in EBA is essential for processing morphological details of body parts. Local processing of body shapes in EBA might contribute to the representation of high-order body attributes, including person identity and body esthetics, which probably rely on a widespread network of different interconnected areas.
虽然注意力在解释高阶、与身体相关的任务中 EBA/FBA 的激活可能起着主要作用，但确定不同任务中自上而下调制的功能意义很重要。虽然神经影像学研究记录了 EBA/FBA 在身体形态感知过程中的功能和解剖特异性，但重复经颅磁刺激 (rTMS) 和脑损伤研究提供了因果证据，证明 EBA 中的活动对于处理身体部位的形态细节是必不可少的。EBA 中身体形状的局部处理可能有助于表示高阶身体属性，包括人的身份和身体美感，这些属性可能依赖于不同相互连接的广泛网络。
