In addition to the asymmetry of
auditory cortex activation for the processing of the original music, we
showed that BOLD signals were modulated by alterations of the musical stimuli.
The results
show that brain activity in the
auditory cortex continues without any problems, as long as we are subjected to sound alone.
ASD participants
showed a deficit in speech envelope tracking, as assessed by the BOLD signal, in a region of
auditory cortex that overlapped with the region
showing a global response deficit to the movie (Figures 1C, D).
As both the theta - and gamma - informed MRI models
showed significant effects in left
auditory cortex during movie viewing, we assessed gamma and theta oscillations engagement during movie viewing (rest vs. movie) in each group in this region.
Merzenich extended his findings to sound perception,
showing that the
auditory cortex also forms sensory maps corresponding to different sound frequencies, and that these maps are equally malleable in adulthood.
Similarly, he
showed that the
auditory cortex can change its map of sound frequencies after individuals are trained to detect fine differences in pitch.
On the other hand, the supplementary somatosensory area (S2), surrounding
auditory cortex and portions of the posterior insula
show reduced consistency across subjects.
