The fusiform face area is actually very complex and there is a lot of relevent research about/going on about it. It deserves more than just a dictionary entry, it really does deserve it's own page. I don't have time to write it tonight, but I at least wanted to make the stub. Miserlou 06:08, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe the Grill-Spector thing should be removed? It's more a 'current neuroscience soap opera event' than anything else. --dmd 16:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, dmd KDevaney 04:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I have to disagree, the GS paper is the most important paper on this topic since the initial discovery of face-selectivity in the fusiform. Michael Tarr Sept 20, 2007

In fact Fusiform Gyrus implicated in face processing pre Kanwisher - cf. Added. Michael Tarr Sept 20, 2007

The facts are what is important; the discoveries, the information contained in studies, etc. What is of little interest to readers (and of little importance) is the dropping of non-notable names of people in the field, and seemingly-POV discussions about the validity of studies. If the study is in dispute, say so without bringing emotion into the discussion. This is science, people. Please try to be objective. On that note, I feel that I've cleaned up the article, and will remove the POV tag. If you feel that it should be added back, do so only after stating your reason(s) here on the talk page.
