最近的研究表明，人的上级颞沟（STS）的区域的敏感性的声音的人的声音。然而，这种反应的物种特异性问题仍然是开放的。在事件相关的fMRI设计中扫描健康成年志愿者，以比较STS对人类和动物发声的反应，以及控制非发声声音（例如，乐器）。双侧激活前STS观察人类发声，与非声乐的声音和动物发声。动物的发声，相比nonvocal的声音，引起了更有限的左STS激活，虽然这一地区的反应更强烈，人类的发声。这项研究提供了第一个证据表明，在STS对人类发声反应的物种特异性。(C)2004年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Recent studies suggested a sensitivity of regions of the human superior temporal sulcus (STS) to the sound of the human voice. However, the question of the species specificity of this response is still open. Healthy adult volunteers were scanned in an event-related fMRI design to compare responses in the STS to human and animal vocalizations, as well as to control nonvocal sounds (e.g., musical instruments). Bilateral activation of anterior STS was observed for human vocalizations, when contrasted with both nonvocal sounds and animal vocalizations. Animal vocalizations, compared to nonvocal sounds, elicited a more restricted left STS activation, although this region responded even more strongly to human vocalizations. This study provides the first evidence suggesting a species specificity in STS responses to vocalizations in humans. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
