The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is a prominent groove located in the lateral part of the brain's temporal lobe. It plays a crucial role in processing auditory information and is involved in social perception, including the interpretation of facial expressions and body language. The STS is situated above the superior temporal gyrus and is part of the brain's network for understanding communication and social interactions. Research has shown that the STS is activated during tasks that require understanding of social cues and emotional expressions. It is also linked to the processing of language and music, highlighting its importance in both social and auditory functions. Understanding the STS can provide insights into various neurological conditions that affect communication and social behavior.
