Know Your Brain: Auditory Cortex Where is the auditory cortex? A coronal section of the left hemisphere, showing the primary auditory cortex (red) as well as surrounding auditory regions (blue and purple). The auditory cortex is found in the temporal lobe. Most of it is hidden from view, ...
BRAIN EVOLUTIONNEUROFILAMENT PROTEINQUANTITATIVE NEUROANATOMYTo extend our investigation of the anatomy of sensory systems in highly adapted aquatic and terrestrial mammals, we have analyzed the distribution of a particular population of efferent neurons in the cetacean and human primary auditory cortex using...
Since the cortex differs in thickness, between brain regions and brains, the profiles were normalized to a standard length (100%), and divided into 10 equidistant bins. GLI profiles reflect the laminar organization of the cortex, and were used to quantitatively characterize different areas and ...
In subject area: Medicine and Dentistry ACx represents the region of mammalian neocortex dedicated predominantly to the processing of auditory information and is located on the lateral surface of the brain, typically lateral or anterolateral to primary somatosensory cortex and anterior to primary visual ...

It consists of the outer ear (the auricle and auditory canal), the middle ear (the tympanic membrane, malleus, incus and stapes), the inner ear (consisting of the cochlea and vestibular organs), the auditory nerve, the auditory cortex and other brain areas involved in sound processing. ...
The ability to accurately determine when to perform an action is a fundamental brain function and vital to adaptive behavior. The behavioral mechanism and neural circuit for action timing, however, remain largely unknown. Using a new, self-paced action t
Recent data from human fMRI and primate electrophysiological studies suggest that a region near the anterolateral border of primary auditory cortex may be involved in pitch processing. Collectively, these findings present strong support for a single central region that is selective for pitch, irrespective...

fMRI in the Pre-Operative Brain Tumor Setting Auditory Cortex and Heschl Gyrus Location The auditory functional areas are roughly located in the superficial posterior and superior surface of the temporal lobe. The primary auditory cortex is centered in the mid-aspect of the superior temporal plane,...
