FIGURE 15-10 Tractography of Temporal Lobe Auditory Circuits Color overlaid on DTI images demonstrates tracts between the superior temporal gyrus and middle temporal gyrus in three individuals. Participants A and B had more accurate and less accurate perfect pitch, respectively; Case C did not. The tracts that connect the regions in the left hemisphere (orange) are larger in participants A and B than in C. Tracts colored purple connect the regions in the right hemisphere.
