title: The social mysteries of the superior temporal sulcus.
abstract: The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is implicated in a variety of social processes, ranging from language perception to simulating the mental processes of others (theory of mind). In a new study, Deen and colleagues use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to show a regular anterior-posterior organization in the STS for different social tasks.
