  2. Language processing in the brain - Wikipedia

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

    In the last two decades, significant advances occurred in our understanding of the neural processing of sounds in primates. Initially by recording of neural activity in the auditory cortices of monkeys [18] [19] and later elaborated via histological staining [20] [21] [22] and fMRI scanning studies, [23] 3 auditory fields were identified in the primary auditory cortex, and 9 associative ...

  3. Auditory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_cortex

    The auditory cortex takes part in the spectrotemporal, meaning involving time and frequency, analysis of the inputs passed on from the ear. The cortex then filters and passes on the information to the dual stream of speech processing. [5] The auditory cortex's function may help explain why particular brain damage leads to particular outcomes.

  4. Brodmann area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area

    Topography of the primary motor cortex, showing which zone controls each body part. Many of the brain areas defined by Brodmann have their own complex internal structures. In a number of cases, brain areas are organized into topographic maps, where adjoining bits of the cortex correspond to adjoining parts of the body, or of some more abstract ...

  5. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    Top: The auditory cortex of the monkey (left) and human (right) is schematically depicted on the supratemporal plane and observed from above (with the parieto- frontal operculi removed). Bottom: The brain of the monkey (left) and human (right) is schematically depicted and displayed from the side.

  6. Superior temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_temporal_gyrus

    It is the major area involved in the comprehension of language. The superior temporal gyrus is involved in auditory processing, including language, but also has been implicated as a critical structure in social cognition. [2] [3] Various parts of the STG might be referred to as anterior (aSTG), middle (mSTG), and posterior (pSTG).

  7. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The sensory cortex is found just near the motor cortex, and, like the motor cortex, has areas related to sensation from different body parts. Sensation collected by a sensory receptor on the skin is changed to a nerve signal, that is passed up a series of neurons through tracts in the spinal cord.

  8. 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]

  9. Perirhinal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perirhinal_cortex

    The monkey perirhinal cortex receives a majority of its input from high-level visual areas, whereas, in the rat, its inputs are primarily olfactory and, to a lesser extent, auditory. Outputs to orbitofrontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex regions (such as prelimbic and infralimbic ) have been described.
