In the field of face processing, the so‐called “core network” has been intensively researched. Its neural activity can be reliably detected in children and adults using fMRI. However, the core networks counterpart, the so‐called “extended network” has been less researched. In the present study, we compared children's and adults’ brain activity in t...

Face processing is mediated by a distributed neural network commonly divided into a "core system" and an "extended system." The core system consists of several, typically right-lateralized brain regions in the occipito-temporal cortex, including the occipital face area (OFA), the fusiform face area (FFA) and the posterior superior temporal sulcus (...
