It's called the fusiform face area.

那里被称为“梭状回面孔区”。

In one study, researchers stimulated a participant's fusiform face area while they were looking at a non-face object.

在一项研究中，研究员在参与者观看非面部物体时刺激他们的梭状面部区域。

From these patients, they deduced that new memories are formed in the hippocampus, fear comes from the amygdala, and we recognize faces using the fusiform face area.

他们从这些上推断出：新记忆产生于河马体，恐惧来自于扁桃体，我们用纺锤形脸区识别不同的脸。

Hypotheses point to the angular gyrus and the fusiform gyrus, which are structures in the brain responsible for things like understanding metaphors and integrating multiple sensory inputs.

假设指向角形脑回和梭状回，这是大脑中负责理解隐喻和整合多种感觉输入的结构。

Brain malfunctions can also cause you to see things that aren't there, like faces with huge teeth and eyes if a certain part of the fusiform gyrus is overactive.

如果梭状回的某个部分过度活跃，大脑功能障碍也会导致你看到不存在的东西，比如长着巨大牙齿和眼睛的脸。
