记录了23例癫痫手术中同意的清醒患者的颞叶单单位活动。在上级和颞中回的单位响应于语言信号的兴奋或抑制在密切的时间关系与语音信号。对单词的语音或语义内容没有特定的反应，但纯音和其他噪音是无效的。一些单位专门回答了第二部分组成的话。患者自己说的语言也可能导致相同或其他单位的兴奋或抑制反应。旋律，安静的音乐诱导抑制自发放电率在大多数单位。对语言的反应仅限于上级和颞中回的中后部。颞极区和颞下回没有反应。音乐的抑制作用出现在表现出积极语言反应的相同区域，但其他区域没有被探索。到目前为止，我们还没有能够找到显着差异的单一单位的反应，这些声学信号之间的左，右颞叶。
Single unit activity in the temporal lobe was recorded from 23 consenting, conscious patients during epilepsy operations. Units in the superior and middle temporal gyrus responded to language signals with excitation or suppression in close temporal relation with the speech signal. No specific responses to phonetic or semantic contents of the words could be recognized, but pure tones and other noises were ineffective. A few units responded specifically to the second part of composed words. Language spoken by the patient himself could also lead to excitatory or inhibitory responses in the same or other units. Melodic, quiet music induced a suppression of spontaneous discharge rate in a majority of units. Responses to language were confined to the middle and posterior section of the superior and middle temporal gyrus. No responses were recorded from the temporal pole region and the inferior temporal gyrus. Suppression by music was found in the same regions which showed positive language responses, but other areas were not explored. As yet, we have not been able to find significant differences of single unit responses to these acoustical signals between the left and right temporal lobes.
