title: Three-dimensional in vivo planum temporale reconstruction.
abstract: We describe a new multistep technique for three-dimensional reconstruction and analysis of the in vivo planum temporale (PT) based on the manipulation of magnetic resonance raw data obtained with a special protocol. Measurements of left and right plana confirm previous neuroanatomical descriptions of a larger left planum temporale. This method can be easily adopted, allowing anatomically valid PT measurements.
