The auditory cortex network in the posterior superior temporal area

The superior temporal gyrus (STG) plays a critical role in hearing, speech, and language (Penfield and Jasper 1954) (Campbell 1905) (Hoppe 2008). Previous studies have reported that the primary auditory cortex is located deep within the lateral fissure on a small patch of the transverse Heschl's gyrus (HG), with distinctive cyto- and myelo-architectonic features (Campbell 1905). Penfield et al. reported that auditory sensations were induced by stimulation of a narrow region of the STG that bordered the posterior third of the Sylvian fissure (Penfield and Jasper 1954).
