Neuroimaging researchers like to talk about bits of the brain in terms of what kind of stimuli they respond to.
The "Fusiform Face Area (FFA)" and "Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA)" are two of the most popular of these 'clue is in the name' areas. The FFA lights up in response to seeing faces, while the PPA is more into places... so textbooks will tell you.
