Left temporal lobe, dorsal surface. The large dots cover those areas where the cortex and underlying fibers were destroyed. The smaller dots cover areas of cortex beneath which fibers in the center of the convolution were destroyed, but the cortex where dotted was intact. (From: Barrett A. A case of pure word-deafness with autopsy. J Nerv Ment Dis 1910;37[2]:85.)
