STG
MNI Coordinates
Subregion fpSTS MNI: [45 -34 4] (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
Anatomical Location
Functions
- STG organized by speech sounds (Cohen et al. (2016) - Springer)
- phoneme categories are found in the middle aspect (Cohen et al. (2016) - Springer)
- word categories in the anterior-superior aspect (Cohen et al. (2016) - Springer)
- phrases in the most anterior aspect ⇒ STGa?? (Cohen et al. (2016) - Springer)
- all STG regions are sensitive to speech prosody (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
- right mSTG and left STGa showed stronger sensitivity during the explicit attention condition
- regions in the right posterior STG (pSTG) (fundus of the posterior superior temporal sulcus (fpSTS), posterior STG (pSTG) and all left STG subregions were sensitive to the pitch and intensity variations in affective prosody, which are one of the main acoustic features of affective prosody (Banse and Scherer, 1996; Patel et al., 2011). (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
Connectivity
- all subregions are connected to the right fOP via Auditory Where-Stream (Dorsal) (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
- only subregion fpSTS connects to right IFG equally strong via Auditory Where-Stream (Dorsal) and Auditory What-Stream (Ventral) (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
