Planum temporale "non-human primate language area" for? Planum temporale The planum temporale is the cortical area just posterior to the auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus) within the Sylvian fissure. It is a triangular region which forms the heart of Wernicke's area, one of the most important functional areas for language. Original studies on this area found that the planum temporale was one of the most asymmetric regions in the brain, with this area being up to ten times larger in the left cerebral hemisphere than the right. The planum temporale makes up the superior surface of the superior temporal gyrus to the parietal
Human cytomegalovirus Human cytomegalovirus Human cytomegalovirus is a species of the virus genus "Cytomegalovirus", which in turn is a member of the viral family known as "Herpesviridae" or herpesviruses. It is typically abbreviated as HCMV or, commonly but more ambiguously, as CMV. It is also known as human herpesvirus-5 (HHV-5). Within "Herpesviridae", HCMV belongs to the "Betaherpesvirinae" subfamily, which also includes cytomegaloviruses from other mammals. Although they may be found throughout the body, HCMV infections are frequently associated with the salivary glands. HCMV infection is typically unnoticed in healthy people, but can be life-threatening for the immunocompromised, such as HIV-infected persons, organ
