Abstract
This perspective accompanies a translation of R.L. Heschl's “Über Die Vordere Quere Schläfenwindung Des Menschlichen Großhirns”, which translates to “On the anterior transverse temporal gyrus of the human cerebrum”. The original manuscript reports an anatomical description of the transverse temporal gyrus, Heschl's gyrus, in humans. Within this description, Heschl reports a detailed description of a particular morphological shape deviation, one in which the superior temporal gyrus is split. Here, we contextualize the significance of said diverging morphology for modern neuroscience, specifically for but not limited to auditory human neuroimaging, accompanied by the full English translation of the original manuscript.
