Journal ArticleDOI
Intensely pleasurable responses to music correlate with activity in brain regions implicated in reward and emotion
Anne J. Blood,Robert J. Zatorre +1 more
TL;DR: This finding links music with biologically relevant, survival-related stimuli via their common recruitment of brain circuitry involved in pleasure and reward.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voice-selective areas in human auditory cortex
TL;DR: It is shown, using functional magnetic resonance imaging in human volunteers, that voice-selective regions can be found bilaterally along the upper bank of the superior temporal sulcus (STS), and their existence sheds new light on the functional architecture of the human auditory cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateralization of phonetic and pitch discrimination in speech processing
TL;DR: Processing changes in pitch produced activation of the right prefrontal cortex, consistent with the importance of right-hemisphere mechanisms in pitch perception.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of auditory cortex: music and speech
TL;DR: It is proposed that cortical asymmetries might have developed as a general solution to the need to optimize processing of the acoustic environment in both temporal and frequency domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasticity in gray and white: neuroimaging changes in brain structure during learning
TL;DR: Human brain imaging findings of structural plasticity are reviewed and cellular and molecular level changes that could underlie observed imaging effects are discussed, to facilitate cross-talk between cellular and systems level explanations of how learning sculpts brain structure.
