The separation into ventral and dorsal streams occurs as early as the primary auditory cortex, with area hR projecting to the anterior STG, and hA1 to the middle-posterior STG. tDCS may be useful in the treatment of brain stem auditory agnosia....
2.2 Auditory cortex At last we have arrived at auditory cortex and, in this section, we will discuss the anatomy of brain areas in auditory cortex as well as the neurophysiological features of these regions of cortex. Auditory cortex is the region within cortex specialized for sound processing....
This objective test assesses the central hearing pathways from the cochlea along the auditory nerve all the way to the auditory cortex (the part of the brain where sounds are perceived). It is helpful in assessing possible obstruction to sound transmission due to tumours, demyelination or other ...

hearing. 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 ...
Brain mapping Temporal lobe Insular cortex 1. Introduction Understanding the anatomical foundations of language processing requires disentangling the cortical areas forming the language network. The language network includes, among others, aspects of the superior temporal gyrus and sulcus, located medially ...
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
The lack of input from one sensory modality profoundly impacts brain development (Bavelier and Neville2002; Merabet and Pascual-Leone2010). In the case of deafness, the auditory cortex becomes involved in the processing of stimuli from remaining modalities, such as tactile or visual (Auer Jr et ...
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...
We examined the role of auditory cortex in extinction of auditory-based fear memories with a standard TONE-ON conditioning, wherein a tone CS predicted a footshock unconditioned stimulus (US), or a novel TONE-OFF conditioning, in which the tone was continually present and th...
