TB Journal Club: Effective and Structural Connectivity in the Human Auditory Cortex

I just came across this paper today, but the hot-off-the-press article in J. Neurosci. by Helen Tager-Flusberg and company appears to be a must-read, and therefore qualifies for a "TB Journal Club" listing. The paper investigates the connectivity patterns in human auditory cortex using a combination of BOLD fMRI, Granger causality mapping, and diffusion tensor mapping.

So everyone have a look and be ready to discuss next week!
