%X Two   competing   theories   explain   the   other-‘race’   effect   (ORE)  either  by  greater  perceptual  expertise  to  same-‘race’  (SR)  faces  or  by  social  categorization  of   other-‘race’  (OR)  faces at the expense of  individuation. To assess expertise and categorization  contributions  to  the  ORE,  a  promising—yet  overlooked—approach  is  comparing  activations  for  differ-ent other-‘races’. We present a label-based systematic review of    neuroimaging   studies   reporting   increased   activity   in   response  to  OR  faces  (African,  Caucasian,  or  Asian)  when  compared with the SR of  participants. Hypothetically, while common  activations  would  reflect  general  aspects  of   OR  perception,  ‘race’-preferential  ones  would  represent  effects  of   ‘race’-specific  visual  appearance.  We  find  that  several  studies report activation of  occipito-temporal and midcingu-late areas in response to faces across different other-‘races’, presumably  due  to  high  demand  on  the  visual  system  and  category processing. Another area reported in response to all OR faces, the caudate nucleus, suggests the involvement of  socio-affective processes and behavioural regulation. Overall, our results support hybrid models—both expertise and social categorization contribute to the ORE, but they provide little evidence for reduced motivation to process OR faces. Addi-tionally, we identify areas preferentially responding to specific OR faces, reflecting effects of  visual appearance
