11. In response to puns, the left posterior middle temporal gyrus and the left inferior frontal gyrus were activated. 12. Eye gaze is also known to activate the superior temporal gyrus , which is less active in monotropic children with autism. 13. Happiness was consistently associated with activity in 9 regional brain clusters, the largest located in the right superior temporal gyrus . 14. When a melody was produced activation spread to the superior temporal gyrus ( STG ) and planum polare ( PP ). 15. In my case, the hemorrhage occurred over a fold in the left hemisphere of my brain : the superior temporal gyrus . 16. The inferior temporal gyrus recognizes complex shapes, objects, and faces or, in conjunction with the hippocampus, creates new memories. 17. Receptive speech has traditionally been associated with Wernicke's area of the posterior superior temporal gyrus ( STG ) and surrounding areas. 18. Lesions in the superior temporal gyrus ( STG ) produce a more persistent global aphasia, which is associated with poor aphasia recovery. 19. However results have shown comparative activation in the superior temporal gyrus ( STG ) and in the inferior temporal gyrus ( ITG ). 20. However results have shown comparative activation in the superior temporal gyrus ( STG ) and in the inferior temporal gyrus ( ITG ).
