Connectivity-based subdivisions of the human right “temporoparietal junction area”: evidence for different areas participating in different cortical networks
Abstract
Controversy surrounds the role of the temporoparietal junction (TPJ) area of the human brain. Although TPJ has been implicated both in reorienting of attention and social cognition, it is still unclear whether these functions have the same neural basis. Indeed, whether TPJ is a precisely identifiable cortical region or a cluster of subregions with separate functions is still a matter of debate. Here, we examined the structural and functional connectivity of TPJ, testing whether TPJ is a unitary area with a heterogeneous functional connectivity profile or a conglomerate of regions with distinctive connectivity. Diffusion-weighted imaging tractrography-based parcellation identified 3 separate regions in TPJ. Resting-state functional connectivity was then used to establish which cortical networks each of these subregions participates in. A dorsal cluster in the middle part of the inferior parietal lobule showed resting-state functional connectivity with, among other areas, lateral anterior prefrontal cortex. Ventrally, an anterior TPJ cluster interacted with ventral prefrontal cortex and anterior insula, while a posterior TPJ cluster interacted with posterior cingulate, temporal pole, and anterior medial prefrontal cortex. These results indicate that TPJ can be subdivided into subregions on the basis of its structural and functional connectivity.

TPJ splits into three separate subregions: a dorsal component connecting to lateral anterior PFC, an anterior region connecting to the ventral attentional network and a posterior region connecting to social cognitive areas such as the precuneus and posterior cingulate.
“Recent research on structural connectivity suggests that TPJ splits into three separate subregions: a dorsal component connecting to lateral anterior PFC, an anterior region connecting to the ventral attentional network and a posterior region connecting to social cognitive areas such as the precuneus and posterior cingulate (Mars et al., 2012).”

Posterior portions of STS and adjacent supramarginal gyrus around TPJ have strong connections to IFG, IPS and AI.
“There is also evidence that posterior portions of the STS and adjacent portions of the supramarginal gyrus around the TPJ, both have strong connections to the IFG, IPS and to the AI (Mars et al., 2012; Petrides and Pandya, 2009; Seltzer and Pandya, 1989).”

The supramarginal gyrus is part of a different functional connectivity network with extensive connections to the anterior insula.
“Interestingly, the SMG (see Figure 2) is also part of a different functional connectivity network with extensive connections to the AI [47].”

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.
