This cytoarchitectonic map is a probabilisitc map, it's maybe useful for the anatomical interpretation of functional activation in fMRI study, I guess. But I'm not sure if it can be used for comparing the structual difference in auditory cortex between two groups. Could you tell me any example of such application?

You may find the following cytoarchitectonic maps helpful in localising

primary auditory cortex:
