“…S6 and S7). This configuration is in agreement with previous studies, although an additional cluster on anterior STS in the right hemisphere is sometimes found (Belin et al, 2000; Bonte et al, 2013, 2014; Moerel et al, 2012; Pernet et al, 2015). In contrast, the extension of CBF voice selective regions was very limited, probably due to the lower CNR as suggested by below‐threshold effects (see Supporting Information Fig.…”

“…Voice selective regions were investigated by contrasting responses to vocal sounds versus those to other natural sounds and tones as measured by CBF and BOLD signal computed from the ASL signal of the voice localizer run. BOLD signal defined voice selective regions were mainly located on STG and STS and presented five peaks of voice sensitivity, namely posterior and mid STS for both hemispheres and anterior STS for the left hemisphere in good agreement with previous studies (Belin et al, 2000; Bonte et al, 2013, 2014; Moerel et al, 2012; Pernet et al, 2015). CBF defined voice selective regions, although showing a more limited extent, successfully detected three peaks corresponding to the bilateral posterior and the left mid STS clusters.…”

A tonotopic organization of the human auditory cortex (AC) has been reliably found by neuroimaging studies. However, a full characterization and parcellation of the AC is still lacking. In this study, we employed pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) to map tonotopy and voice selective regions using, for the first time, cerebral blood flow (CBF). We demonstrated the feasibility of CBF‐based tonotopy and found a good agreement with BOLD signal‐based tonotopy, despite the lower contrast‐to‐noise ratio of CBF. Quantitative perfusion mapping of baseline CBF showed a region of high perfusion centered on Heschl's gyrus and corresponding to the main high‐low‐high frequency gradients, co‐located to the presumed primary auditory core and suggesting baseline CBF as a novel marker for AC parcellation. Furthermore, susceptibility weighted imaging was employed to investigate the tissue specificity of CBF and BOLD signal and the possible venous bias of BOLD‐based tonotopy. For BOLD only active voxels, we found a higher percentage of vein contamination than for CBF only active voxels. Taken together, we demonstrated that both baseline and stimulus‐induced CBF is an alternative fMRI approach to the standard BOLD signal to study auditory processing and delineate the functional organization of the auditory cortex.

“…Behavioral requirements may additionally modulate spatially distributed auditory/perceptual mechanisms involving early auditory cortical areas (Formisano et al, 2008;Kilian-Hütten et al, 2011a). For example, the specific task requirement may trigger the temporal binding of multiple (and spatially distant) neuronal populations, each encoding for relevant acoustic or perceptual features, thereby forming distributed representations of speech or speaker categories (Bonte et al, 2009). …”

Task-Dependent Decoding of Speaker and Vowel Identity from Auditory Cortical Response Patterns

Selective attention to relevant sound properties is essential for everyday listening situations. It enables the formation of different perceptual representations of the same acoustic input and is at the basis of flexible and goal-dependent behavior. Here, we investigated the role of the human auditory cortex in forming behavior-dependent representations of sounds. We used single-trial fMRI and analyzed cortical responses collected while subjects listened to the same speech sounds (vowels /a/, /i/, and /u/) spoken by different speakers (boy, girl, male) and performed a delayed-match-to-sample task on either speech sound or speaker identity. Univariate analyses showed a task-specific activation increase in the right superior temporal gyrus/sulcus (STG/STS) during speaker categorization and in the right posterior temporal cortex during vowel categorization. Beyond regional differences in activation levels, multivariate classification of single trial responses demonstrated that the success with which single speakers and vowels can be decoded from auditory cortical activation patterns depends on task demands and subject's behavioral performance. Speaker/vowel classification relied on distinct but overlapping regions across the (right) mid-anterior STG/STS (speakers) and bilateral mid-posterior STG/STS (vowels), as well as the superior temporal plane including Heschl's gyrus/sulcus. The task dependency of speaker/vowel classification demonstrates that the informative fMRI response patterns reflect the top-down enhancement of behaviorally relevant sound representations. Furthermore, our findings suggest that successful selection, processing, and retention of task-relevant sound properties relies on the joint encoding of information across early and higher-order regions of the auditory cortex.

Behavioral response to tactile stimuli relates to brain response to affective touch in 12‐month‐old infants

Affective touch activates a brain network responsible for processing social-emotional stimuli in infants, children, and adults, with a core node in the superior temporal sulcus (STS). STS is known to be a region highly susceptible to individual variability, including for tactile stimuli processing. However, little is known about how this region is recruited to process affective touch in infancy. The aim of this study was to examine brain activity to affective touch in the temporal region (STS) and understand if it relates to behavioral patterns of sensory-over responsivity (SOR) to touch.Twelve-month-old infants (n = 24) were given affective and discriminative stimuli to the forearm while they were watching a silent movie. Brain activation was recorded in the STS for measures of oxy-hemoglobin (HbO 2 ) and deoxy-hemoglobin (Hbb) using functional near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRS). Aversive responses to tactile stimuli were measured using the Infant-Toddler Sensory Profile. A significant hemodynamic response increase in HbO 2 to affective touch was observed in the STS for infants with less aversive behavioral responses to tactile stimuli. The findings suggest that brain activity in the STS for affective touch might be related to individual differences in the affective reaction toward touch.
