Functional Localization of Visual Motion Area FST in Humans.
Article in Imaging neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The fundus of the superior temporal sulcus (FST) in macaque monkeys is implicated in the processing of complex motion signals, yet a human homolog remains elusive. To better understand the neural mechanisms underlying the analysis of complex motion signals in humans, it is crucial to understand if and where a region homologous to FST exists. Here, we considered potential localizers and evaluated their effectiveness in delineating putative FST (pFST) from two nearby motion-sensitive areas, hMT and MST, in humans. Nine participants underwent fMRI scanning sessions with 2D and 3D motion localizers, as well as population receptive field (pRF) mapping. We observed consistent anterior and inferior activation relative to hMT and MST in response to stimuli that contained coherent 3D, but not 2D, motion. Motion opponency and myelination measures further validated the functional and structural distinction between pFST and hMT/MST. At the same time, standard pRF mapping techniques that reveal the visual field organization of hMT/MST proved suboptimal for delineating pFST. Our findings provide confirmatory evidence for the existence of a functional homolog of macaque area FST in humans, offer a robust framework for localizing pFST, and underscore the area's distinct role in visual motion processing.
