“…Interactions between the auditory What and Where streams are likely to occur on the supratemporal plane, where the two streams partially overlap (Altmann et al, 2007;Arnott et al, 2004;Griffiths and Warren, 2002;Hart et al, 2004;Hunter et al, 2003;Viceic et al, 2006). Several architectonically defined areas are located within this region, including the primary (on Heschl's gyrus; Morosan et al, 2001) and several non-primary auditory areas: the anterior (AA), anterolateral (ALA), lateral (LA), medial (MA), posterior (PA), and superior temporal (STA) areas (as identified by their histo-and immunohistochemical characteristics; Rivier and Clarke, 1997;Wallace et al, 2002). The diversity of the early-stage non-primary areas may reflect functional specialisation, such as proposed for speech processing in LA and STA (Scott and Johnsrude, 2003).…”
