depicted navigation through limited portions (each clip lasted
only 3 sec) of unfamiliar scenes. As such, it was not possible
for participants to develop survey knowledge of the broader
environment related to each scene, or what is more, to inte-
grate cues about self-motion through the scene with such
survey knowledge. The present single dissociation, with OPA,
but not RSC, responding selectively to dynamic scenes,
therefore suggests a critical, and previously unreported divi-
sion of labor amongst brain regions involved in scene pro-
cessing and navigation more generally. In particular, we
hypothesize that while RSC represents the broader environ-
ment associated with the current scene, in order to support
navigation to destinations outside the current view (e.g., to get
from the cafeteria to the psychology building), OPA rather
represents the immediately visible environment, in order to
support navigation to destinations within the current view
(e.g., to get from one side of the cafeteria to the other). Of
course, since here we did not test how these regions support
navigation through the broader environment, it might still be
the case that OPA supports both navigation through the
immediately visible scene and the broader environment.
Future work will be required to test this possibility.
Finally, our group analysis revealed a network of regions
extending from lateral superior occipital cortex (correspond-
ing to OPA) to superior parietal lobe thatwere sensitive to first-
person perspective motion information through scenes. This
activation is consistent with a number of studies showing
parietal activation during navigation tasks (Burgess, 2008;
Kravitz et al., 2011; Marchette et al., 2014; Persichetti & Dilks,
2016; Spiers & Maguire, 2007; van Assche, Kebets,
Vuilleumier, & Assal, 2016). Interestingly, this activation is
also consistent with neuropsychological data from patients
with damage to posterior parietal cortexwho show a profound
inability to localize objects with respect to the self (a condition
known as egocentric disorientation) (Aguirre & D'Esposito,1999; Ciaramelli, Rosenbaum, Solcz, Levine, & Moscovitch,
2010; Stark, Coslett, & Saffran, 1996; Wilson et al., 2005).
In sum, here we found that OPA, PPA, and RSC differen-
tially represent the first-person perspective motion informa-
tion experienced while moving through a scene, with OPA
responding more selectively to such motion information than
RSC and PPA. This enhanced response in OPA to first-person
perspective motion information, a critical cue for navigating
the immediately visible scene, suggests the novel hypothesis
that OPA is distinctly involved in visually-guided navigation,
while RSC and PPA support other aspects of navigation and
scene recognition.
