    Fig 2.

    Cross-sections through the left superior temporal gyrus showing the focus of white matter deficit in the deaf group in relation to planum temporale and Heschl gyrus. A and B, crosshairs indicate the gray matter center of the planum temporale at (−60, −20, 10).12 C and D, crosshairs are centered on the gray matter center of Heschl gyrus at (−50, −20, 8).13 Talairach coordinates are transformed into MNI. The color bar represents the T score. “R” indicates right side of brain (radiology convention).
