Bilateral STG organize phonological recognition of speech (Hickok 2009)
- Bilateral damage may cause auditory verbal agnosia, or, pure word deafness (poor comprehension of verbal words with preserved reading comprehension and hearing)
- Lesions in left STG may lead to deficits in word recognition, though this is primarily on the semantic rather than phonological level (Hickok 2009)
- Left STG may be more involved in temporal phonological processing and right with spectral (frequency) processing (Zatorre, Belin, Penhune, 2002)
Left dorsal posterior STG / supramarginal gyrus is associated with conduction aphasia (good comprehension and fluent speech but poor repetition) (Hickok 2009)
