The human language function is not only based on the grey matter of circumscribed brain
regions in the frontal and the temporal cortex but moreover on the white matter fiber tracts …

Cerebral plasticity, which is the dynamic potential of the brain to reorganize itself during
ontogeny, learning, or following damage, has been widely studied in the last decade, in …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

Previously reported leftward asymmetry in language-related gray and white matter areas of
the brain has been proposed as a structural correlate of left-sided functional hemispheric …

Morphological asymmetries favouring the left hemisphere in the planum temporale (PT) and
Heschl's gyrus (HG) have both been presumed to relate to the typical left-hemisphere …

Among brain functions, language is one of the most lateralized. Cortical language areas are
also some of the most asymmetrical in the brain. An open question is whether the asymmetry …

Hemispheric specialization for language is one of the most robust findings of cognitive
neuroscience. In this review, we first present the main hypotheses about the origins of this …

Accumulating evidence in humans and non-human primates implicates the posterior
superior temporal plane (STP) in the processing of both auditory spatial information and …

Language and communication deficits are among the core features of autism spectrum
disorder (ASD). Reduced or reversed asymmetry of language has been found in a number …

This study describes the gyrification patterns and surface areas of Heschl's gyrus (HG) in
430 healthy volunteers mapped with magnetic resonance imaging. Among the 232 right …
