“…The posterior region of the STG (along with the planum temporale, which was in the present study also activated by the modulations) including the upper bank of the STS have been reported to be involved in phoneme identification (Pöppel, 1996). In particular, regions along the banks of the STS have been shown to be involved in prelexical processing (Mummery et al, 1999) and perception of acoustic-phonological features of speech (Binder et al, 1994;Pöppel, 1996). One might draw a parallel between the interval structure of a chord and the phonological structure of a word.…”

“…It is important to note that the structures activated in the present experiment are also well known to be involved in the processing of language, as revealed by studies with both auditory (Zatorre et al, 1992;Mummery et al, 1999;Meyer et al, 2000b;Pöppel, 1996;Friederici et al, 2000a;Binder et al, 1994;Schlosser et al, 1998;Bellin et al, 2000;Friederici, 1998) and visual stimuli (Just et al, 1996;Shaywitz et al, 1995;Mazoyer et al, 1993). Especially the areas of Broca and Wernicke have been shown in numerous lesion-and imaging-studies to be critically involved in the processing of language.…”

The aim of the present study was the investigation of neural correlates of music processing with fMRI. Chord sequences were presented to the participants, infrequently containing unexpected musical events. These events activated the areas of Broca and Wernicke, the superior temporal sulcus, Heschl's gyrus, both planum polare and planum temporale, as well as the anterior superior insular cortices. Some of these brain structures have previously been shown to be involved in music processing, but the cortical network comprising all these structures has up to now been thought to be domain-specific for language processing. To what extent this network might also be activated by the processing of non-linguistic information has remained unknown. The present fMRI-data reveal that the human brain employs this neuronal network also for the processing of musical information, suggesting that the cortical network known to support language processing is less domain-specific than previously believed. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA)

“…When comparing the lexical to the null conditions (masked to exclude perceptual activation), the rhyming task produced activation in left superior and middle temporal gyri (BA 22,21) and left inferior frontal gyrus (BA 45,46), supporting the roles of these brain regions in phonological processing (Binder, et al 1994;Poldrack, et al 1999). Lexical activation included both dorsal (BA 45; pars opercularis) and ventral (BA 46; pars triangularis) aspects of the inferior frontal cortex.…”

“…Right superior temporal gyrus activation has been linked to perception of pitch variation in linguistic and nonlinguistic stimuli (Johnsrude, et al 2000;Scott, et al 2000). Left superior temporal gyrus, on the other hand, has been implicated in access to phonological representations (Binder, et al 1994;Scott, et al 2000), and greater activation in left superior temporal gyrus was found to be correlated with higher accuracy and faster reaction times for auditory rhyme decisions in adults (Booth, et al 2003a). Activation in left inferior frontal gyrus may reflect reliance on phonological segmentation processes (Hagoort, et al 1999), increasing activation of motor programs involved in planning articulations (Rizzolatti and Craighero 2004) and/or greater top-down modulation of posterior regions associated with phonological processing (Bitan, et al 2005).…”

Developmental changes in brain regions involved in phonological and orthographic processing during spoken language processing

et al. 2008

Developmental differences in brain activation of 9-to 15-year-old children were examined during an auditory rhyme decision task to spoken words using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). As a group, children showed activation in left superior/middle temporal gyri (BA 22, 21), right middle temporal gyrus (BA 21), dorsal (BA 45, pars opercularis) and ventral (BA 46, pars triangularis) aspects of left inferior frontal gyrus, and left fusiform gyrus (BA 37). There was a developmental increase in activation in left middle temporal gyrus (BA 22) across all lexical conditions, suggesting that automatic semantic processing increases with age regardless of task demands. Activation in left dorsal inferior frontal gyrus also showed developmental increases for the conflicting (e.g. PINT-MINT) compared to the non-conflicting (e.g. PRESS-LIST) non-rhyming conditions, indicating that this area becomes increasingly involved in strategic phonological processing in the face of conflicting orthographic and phonological representations. Left inferior temporal/fusiform gyrus (BA 37) activation was also greater for the conflicting (e.g. PINT-MINT) condition, and a developmental increase was found in the positive relationship between individuals' reaction time and activation in left lingual/fusiform gyrus (BA 18) in this condition, indicating an age-related increase in the association between longer reaction times and greater visual-orthographic processing in this conflicting condition. These results suggest that orthographic processing is automatically engaged by children in a task that does not require access to orthographic information for correct performance, especially when orthographic and phonological representations conflict, and especially for longer response latencies in older children.

“…In auditory language processing distinct peri-sylvian areas serve phonological properties [Binder et al, 1994;Jäncke et al, 1998;Wise et al, 1991], enable access to the meaning of words [Démonet et al, 1992;Fiez et al, 1996], or process the structural relations between words [Caplan et al, 1998;Dapretto and Bookheimer, 1999;Friederici et al, 2000a;Mazoyer et al, 1993]. Thus, a broadly distributed network involving the entire peri-sylvian cortex in the left hemisphere plays a predominant role in word-level, linguistic processing [Binder et al, 1996;Démonet et al, 1994].…”

By means of fMRI measurements, the present study identifies brain regions in left and right peri-sylvian areas that subserve grammatical or prosodic processing. Normal volunteers heard 1) normal sentences; 2) so-called syntactic sentences comprising syntactic, but no lexical-semantic information; and 3) manipulated speech signals comprising only prosodic information, i.e., speech melody. For all conditions, significant blood oxygenation signals were recorded from the supratemporal plane bilaterally. Left hemisphere areas that surround Heschl gyrus responded more strongly during the two sentence conditions than to speech melody. This finding suggests that the anterior and posterior portions of the superior temporal region (STR) support lexical-semantic and syntactic aspects of sentence processing. In contrast, the right superior temporal region, in especially the planum temporale, responded more strongly to speech melody. Significant brain activation in the fronto-opercular cortices was observed when participants heard pseudo sentences and was strongest during the speech melody condition. In contrast, the fronto-opercular area is not prominently involved in listening to normal sentences. Thus, the functional activation in fronto-opercular regions increases as the grammatical information available in the sentence decreases. Generally, brain responses to speech melody were stronger in right than left hemisphere sites, suggesting a particular role of right cortical areas in the processing of slow prosodic modulations.
