Studies in humans have indicated that the anterior superior temporal sulcus has an important role in the processing of information about human voices, especially the identification of talkers from their voice. A new study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with macaques provides strong evidence that anterior auditory fields, part of the auditory 'what' pathway, preferentially respond to changes in the identity of conspecifics, rather than specific vocalizations from the same individual.
对人类的研究表明，颞上沟前部在处理有关人类声音的信息方面发挥着重要作用，特别是从声音中识别说话者。一项对猕猴使用功能磁共振成像（fMRI）的新研究提供了强有力的证据，表明听觉“什么”通路的一部分——听觉前区，优先对同种个体身份的变化做出反应，而不是对同一个体的特定发声做出反应。
