Abstract

Although the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas have been intensely investigated in relation to their motor functions, they are also consistently reported in studies of auditory processing and auditory imagery. This involvement is commonly overlooked, in contrast to lateral premotor and inferior prefrontal areas. We argue here for the engagement of supplementary motor areas across a variety of sound categories, including speech, vocalizations, and music, and we discuss how our understanding of auditory processes in these regions relate to findings and hypotheses from the motor literature. We suggest that supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas play a role in facilitating spontaneous motor responses to sound, and in supporting a flexible engagement of sensorimotor processes to enable imagery and to guide auditory perception.

Figures

Figure 1 Anatomy of the Supplementary Motor Areas. (A) The medial surface of the right hemisphere of the human brain showing the locations of SMA (blue) and pre-SMA (red). SMA occupies the medial area 6aα, and pre-SMA is located anteriorly in medial area 6aβ. The broken line represents the vertical plane through the anterior commissure (VCA line, y = 0), typically considered as the border between pre-SMA and SMA. The maps were taken from the Human Motor Area Template (HMAT) [26], which uses both anatomical information and probability distributions estimating the likelihood of functional activation to characterize the shape, extent, and area of motor and premotor cortices. Area 4 corresponds to the primary motor cortex. (B) The medial surface of the macaque monkey brain showing area F3 (blue), which corresponds to SMA, and area F6 (red), which corresponds to pre-SMA. Area F1 corresponds to primary motor cortex. The human figure was generated from the Conte69 human surface-based atlas and the macaque figure was generated from subject F99 using Connectome Workbench software version 1.1.1. Anatomical parcellations of the macaque brain were sourced from the Markov et al.[118] atlas. Numbers in white represent locations of Brodmann's areas located in close proximity to SMA and pre-SMA. The gradients above SMA in the human and macaque brains illustrate the somatotopy in this region, with face/mouth (F/M), upper limb (UL), and lower limb (LL) representations depicted along an anterior-to-posterior orientation.

Figure I Streams of Auditory Processing in the Human Brain. Lateral view of the anteroventral and posterodorsal auditory processing pathways (unbroken arrows), and anatomical connections between SMA and pre-SMA and inferior frontal, temporal and parietal areas (broken arrows). The main anatomical systems involved in sound processing are shown in color. Projecting from the primary auditory cortex into anterior temporal and inferior frontal areas, the anteroventral stream decodes meaning in sounds (‘what’). The posterodorsal pathway supports sensorimotor and spatial processes (‘how’ and ‘where’), and it projects posteriorly into inferior parietal, sensory, motor, and inferior frontal areas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
