Department of Neurology, Neuroimaging Laboratory, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, 330 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA 02215, USA
Neuroimage 31:255-63. 2006..It is most likely that the activation of the SMG reflects its importance in the short-term storage of auditory material, and it was this activation that best differentiated between subjects' levels of performance...
