Covert reciting of these syllable sequences along with percussion music aids active listeners in keeping track of music. Owing to the acoustic dissimilarity between the representative syllables and the referent percussive sounds, associative learning is necessary for the oral representation of percussion music. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the neural processes underlying oral rehearsals of music. There were four music conditions in the experiment: (1) passive listening to unlearned percussion music, (2) active listening to learned percussion music, (3) active listening to the syllable representation of (2), and (4) active listening to learned melodic music. Our results specified two neural substrates of the association mechanisms involved in the oral representation of percussion music. First, information integration of heard sounds and the auditory consequences of subvocal rehearsals may engage the right planum temporale during active listening to percussion music. Second, mapping heard sounds to articulatory and laryngeal gestures may engage the left middle premotor cortex. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.fMRI; Percussion music; Syllable sequence; Mirror neuron; Efference copy; Association mechanism[SDGs]SDG3adult; article; basal ganglion; cerebellum; controlled study; female; functional magnetic resonance imaging; human; human experiment; left hemisphere; male; music; nerve cell network; normal human; planum temporale; premotor cortex; priority journal; sensorimotor integration; state dependent learning; task performance; temporal lobe; vocalization; Acoustic Stimulation; Adult; Analysis of Variance; Auditory Perception; Brain; Brain Mapping; Female; Functional Laterality; Humans; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Male; Music; Neuronsjournal article10.1016/j.bandc.2010.07.008207276512-s2.0-77956105544WOS:000281839900007
