The auditory cortex is the most highly organized processing unit of sound in the brain. This cortex area is the neural crux of hearing, and—in humans—language and music. The auditory cortex is divided into three separate parts: the primary, secondary, and tertiary auditory cortex.
The vomer (/ ˈ v oʊ m ər /; [1] [2] Latin: vomer, lit. 'ploughshare') is one of the unpaired facial bones of the skull . It is located in the midsagittal line, and articulates with the sphenoid , the ethmoid , the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones.
Depending on the specific bone conduction hearing aid system, the vibrations are either sent directly through the skull bone, or through the skin towards the inner ear. Finally, the inner ear picks up the vibrations and sends them to the auditory cortex in the brain. Different bone conduction devices contain different features. Here are the key ...
the cranium (8 bones: frontal, 2-parietal, occipital, 2-temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid), and; the facial bones (14 bones: 2-zygomatic, 2-maxillary, 2-palatine, 2-nasal, 2-lacrimal, vomer, 2-inferior conchae, mandible). The occipital bone joins with the atlas near the foramen magnum, a large hole at the base of the skull. The atlas joins with the ...
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] The term is used to describe Brodmann areas 41 and 42 together with the transverse temporal gyrus.

Moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries increase a risk of cognitive decline or dementia even years later by anywhere from two to four times, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. For ...
Stapells and Ruben, in 1989, demonstrated bone-conduction tone burst ABRs in infants with conductive hearing loss. [7] Hatton, Janssen and Stapells (2012) present bone-conduction tone burst ABR results in infants with normal bone-conduction thresholds or sensorineural hearing loss. [8] BC ABR methods are described in 2010 review chapter by ...
A study presented earlier this month found that smaller temporalis muscles could indicate dementia. A brain health coach shares the warning signs to look for. Muscle Loss In This Area Could Be a ...
