We regularly find ourselves in situations in which we talk to others. We talk to friends in a different way than we do to strangers. One important skill for this is not just understanding what the other person is saying but also recognising who is talking. Therefore, the voice of our conversation partner helps us. Until now, scientists could not agree on exactly which regions in the brain allow us to recognise voices.
Full open access research for “Obligatory and facultative brain regions for voice-identity recognition” by Claudia Roswandowitz, Claudia Kappes, Hellmuth Obrig, and Katharina von Kriegstein in Brain. Published online December 8 2017 doi:10.1093/brain/awx313
Especially persons with lesions in certain areas of the right posterior temporal lobe experienced difficulties recognizing voices. The MPI scientists assume that the posterior superior temporal gyrus, the STG, is crucial for voice recognition. NeuroscienceNews.com image is credited to MPI CBS.

January 9 2018: 2/100 My mom surprised me with a note and a gift card when I got home because I got straight A's last semester. I've always been unable to really focus on school because of my dysphoria and anxiety and this year my mental health had improved so much since I started transitioning :) Although I'm proud of my achievement, remember that your grades don't define your intelligence or work ethic. Strive to do your best and always take care of yourself ❤❤❤
A little late, but here’s my first week of bullet journaling :) loving the blue

⭐️ Starting on my physics study guide! I’m actually really excited about getting back to school, so a bit of a routine is established. I’m a creature of habit, so knowing that there are assigned tins blocks for me to do things in really helps with keep my mood and life level.
I’m liking the Earth-tone aesthetic I’ve got going on here, so I think I might apply it to other projects in the future!
Supplies used: - Staedtler marsgraphic duo in fawn and flesh - Tombow ABT in 977 - Pigma Micron 005 in black
Jury nullification. Pass it on.
