  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Wernicke's area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke's_area

    Language as a result is largely meaningless (a condition sometimes called fluent or jargon aphasia). Wernicke's area receives information from the auditory cortex, and functions to assign word meanings. [19] This is why damage to this area results in meaningless speech, often with paraphasic errors and newly created words or expressions.

  6. Wernicke–Geschwind model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke–Geschwind_model

    In the study of language processing, Carl Wernicke created an early neurological model of language, that later was revived by Norman Geschwind. The model is known as the Wernicke–Geschwind model . For listening to and understanding spoken words, the sounds of the words are sent through the auditory pathways to area 41, which is the primary ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Two-streams hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-streams_hypothesis

    The function of the auditory dorsal pathway is to map the auditory sensory representations onto articulatory motor representations. Hickok & Poeppel claim that the auditory dorsal pathway is necessary because, "learning to speak is essentially a motor learning task. The primary input to this is sensory, speech in particular.

  9. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    The primary auditory cortex is surrounded by secondary auditory cortex, and interconnects with it. These secondary areas interconnect with further processing areas in the superior temporal gyrus , in the dorsal bank of the superior temporal sulcus , and in the frontal lobe .
