Since the discovery in 1996 that a region within caudal parahippocampal cortex
subserves learning and recall of topographical information, numerous studies
aimed at elucidating the structures and pathways involved in scene recognition
have been published. Neuroimaging studies, in particular, have revealed the
locations and identities of some of the principal cortical structures that
mediate these faculties. In the present study the detailed organization of the
system is examined, based on a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies of scene
processing in human subjects, combined with reviews of the results of lesions on
this type of processing, single neuron studies, and available hodological data in
non-human primates.
A cortical hierarchy of structures that mediate scene
recognition is established based on these data, and an attempt is made to
determine the function of the individual components of the system.
