Location
Function(s)
- voice-sensitive (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
- 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)
- ausitory input into Parietal Cortex via pST, stage between core and PPC (Rauschecker & Scott (2009) - Nature Neuroscience)
Connectivity
- strongest CP from STG targeting all frontal regions (Frühholz (2015) - NeuroImage)
- specific activation in pST with auditory motion near MT, MST (Rauschecker & Scott (2009) - Nature Neuroscience)
