  2. Auditory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_cortex

    The auditory cortex is the part of the temporal lobe that processes auditory information in humans and many other vertebrates. It is a part of the auditory system , performing basic and higher functions in hearing , such as possible relations to language switching .

  3. Language processing in the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_processing_in_the...

    The auditory dorsal stream connects the auditory cortex with the parietal lobe, which in turn connects with inferior frontal gyrus. In both humans and non-human primates, the auditory dorsal stream is responsible for sound localization, and is accordingly known as the auditory 'where' pathway.

  4. Auditosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditosensory_cortex

    The auditosensory cortex is the part of the auditory system that is associated with the sense of hearing in humans. It occupies the bilateral primary auditory cortex in the temporal lobe of the mammalian brain. [1]

  5. Temporal lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_lobe

    The primary auditory cortex receives sensory information from the ears and secondary areas process the information into meaningful units such as speech and words. [8] The superior temporal gyrus includes an area (within the lateral fissure) where auditory signals from the cochlea first reach the cerebral cortex and are processed by the primary ...

  6. Language center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_center

    The angular gyrus is represented in orange, the supramarginal gyrus is represented in yellow, Broca's area in blue, Wernicke's area in green, and the primary auditory cortex in pink. In neuroscience and psychology , the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and ...

  7. Superior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_gyrus

    The superior temporal gyrus contains the auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds. Specific sound frequencies map precisely onto the auditory cortex. This auditory (or tonotopic) map is similar to the homunculus map of the primary motor cortex. Some areas of the superior temporal gyrus are specialized for processing ...

  8. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The auditory cortex is composed of Brodmann areas 41 and 42, also known as the anterior transverse temporal area 41 and the posterior transverse temporal area 42, respectively. Both areas act similarly and are integral in receiving and processing the signals transmitted from auditory receptors. Human nose

  9. Two-streams hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-streams_hypothesis

    The Spt is responsible for connecting the motor and auditory systems by making auditory code accessible to the motor cortex. It appears that the motor cortex recreates high-frequency, simple words (like cup ) in order to more quickly and efficiently access them, while low-frequency, complex words (like Sylvian parietal temporal ) require more ...
