The fusiform gyrus (FG) in the human brain is essential for higher cortical functions such as recognizing faces and human bodies [1, 2]. Though, the relationship of its structural and functional decompositions in the anterior portion is yet to be better understood [3]. Here, the anterior FG was investigated in ten postmortem brains (five female, five male, including the BigBrain [4]). Using a reproducible, histologically based and software-supported approach, digitized coronal histological brain sections were analyzed [5-7]. A "Grey Level Index" method was used to determine cytoarchitectonic b
