  "summary": "Scene- and word-selective regions in adult ventral temporal cortex occupy consistent locations across individuals and align with eccentricity biases for peripheral versus central parts of the visual field, respectively. This relationship may reflect a developmental sequence in which initial preferences for visual field location influence the emergence of category-selectivity in these regions,…",
