Figure 1.
Structures of the anterior temporal lobe. The axes indicate theoretical gradients of differential semantic processes. Along one axis, ventral structures contribute more to the processing of visual information (e.g., object concepts), and dorsolateral structures contribute more to the processing of non-visual information (e.g., abstract concepts, auditory concepts). Along the second axis, posterior structures contribute more to basic object representations, and anterior structures contribute more to the representation of complex conceptual associations.
