► Voice recognition disorders are mainly due to right temporal lesions. ► Face and voice recognition disorders can both co-occur and dissociate. ► When voice recognition disorders prevail, the superior temporal gyrus is damaged. ► Familiarity feelings are generated in the modality-specific recogniti...
