Functional neuroimaging studies have identified a set of nodes in the occipital–temporal cortex that preferentially respond to faces in comparison with other visual objects. By contrast, the processing of places seems to rely on parahippocampal cortex and structures heavily implicated in memory (e.g., the hippocampus). It has been suggested that human aging leads to decreased neural specialization of core face and place processing areas and impairments in face and place perception.

海马和枕颞网络的结构性损伤特别有助于位置和面部类别处理的下降，但不会导致健康老龄化中的其他视觉对象类别

功能性神经影像学研究已经确定了枕颞皮层中的一组节点，与其他视觉对象相比，这些节点优先响应面部。相比之下，位置的处理似乎依赖于海马旁皮质和与记忆密切相关的结构（例如，海马体）。有人提出，人类衰老会导致核心面部和位置处理区域的神经专业化降低以及面部和位置感知受损。
