Understanding how neural circuits contribute to cognitive differences between humans and other species, including macaque monkeys, is a major issue in neuroscience. Lan- guage and tool use are the most prominent differences be- tween humans and other primates. Many neuroimag- ing-based studies have explored the brain mechanisms un- derlying language to reveal the origin of human evolution. Leroy et al. found human-specific asymmetry in the superi- or temporal sulcus （STS） by analyzing the magnetic reso- nance images （MRI） of humans and chimpanzees [1[, and resting-state functional connectivity analyses have revealed that the functional coupling between the posterior superior temporal gyrus （STG） and inferior frontal gyrus （IFG） is more prominent in humans than in macaques [2].
