“…Oranje and colleagues reported activation of the bilateral STG and medial frontal areas in the P50 gating formation (Oranje, Geyer, Bocker, Leon, & Verbaten, ), still, modeling an interval that covered both the P50 event‐related potential and the peak of the N100, in addition to usual methodological constraints associated with EEG spatial localization, yielded to reduced reliability of reported results. However, recent studies using data of modern whole‐head MEG systems and advanced spatiotemporal source localization techniques (Josef Golubic et al, ; Weiland et al, ), provide strong evidence that the generators underlying auditory sensory gating consisted of a prefrontal (PFC) generator in addition to the anticipated generators in bilateral STG. In addition, Josef Golubic and colleagues, using an auditory oddball‐paradigm that evoked both gating mechanisms, habituation to redundant information (standard stimuli) and preattentive memory‐based comparison processes (deviant stimuli), provided evidence of a modulatory function of the medial PFC generator on bilateral auditory cortices that was activated during both gating‐in and gating‐out responses (Josef Golubic et al, ).…”
