Function of the left planum temporale in auditory and linguistic processing
Abstract
Previous research suggests that the human left planum temporale (PT) plays an important role in language. To test this hypothesis, functional MRI (fMRI) data were collected from 12 normal right-handed subjects during passive and active listening to words and tone sequences. Several left hemisphere areas, including the superior temporal sulcus, middle temporal gyrus, angular gyrus and lateral frontal lobe showed stronger activation during the word conditions. This was not true of the PT, which responded equally to tones and words during passive listening and more strongly to tones during active listening. The PT is likely to be involved in early auditory processing, while specifically linguistic functions are mediated by multimodal association areas distributed elsewhere in the left hemisphere.

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.
