Speech perception. For now on look it up in the book for your open-book test. lol
Temporal Lobe
midbrain
Actually, the auditory associated cortex is a part of the brain located in the temporal lobe ( the bottom area ) which holds and stores your memory.
Damage to Broca's area causes an expressive aphasia, whereas damage to Wernicke's area causes a receptive (although illogcally sounding fluent) aphasia.
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
Auditory cortex is in the temporal lobe lateral fissure area.
midbrain
Primary auditory cortex
The auditory area is located in the temporal lobes of the brain. It also has branches into the frontal lobe through speech areas.
auditory cortex
Actually, the auditory associated cortex is a part of the brain located in the temporal lobe ( the bottom area ) which holds and stores your memory.
Nerves in the ear respond to the mechanical stress of soundwaves and transmit the stress/sound accoundingly (super simplified answer)
Words are ultimately understood and recognized in Wernicke's area in the left temporal lobe of the brain. If words are spoken, the auditory signal goes straight to Wernicke's area. If they are written, several steps involving different parts of the brain precede recognition in the Wernicke's area. First, words are viewed as images. The occipital lobe in the back of the brain is responsible for sight, and words become registered in the visual areas of the occipital lobe. Next, the angular gyrus transforms the images of the words into auditory code. The auditory code is then understood in Wernicke's area.
Damage to Broca's area causes an expressive aphasia, whereas damage to Wernicke's area causes a receptive (although illogcally sounding fluent) aphasia.
The auditory cortex, which detects sound quality like loudness and tone, is right above the auditory association area, which processes complex auditory information.
The part of the brain that controls hearing and speech is primarily the left hemisphere, and more specifically, two key areas within it: the auditory cortex and Broca's area. Auditory Cortex: This region, located in the temporal lobe of the brain, is responsible for processing auditory information, including the sounds we hear. It helps in deciphering various aspects of sound, like pitch, volume, and tone. Broca's Area: While not directly linked to hearing, Broca's area plays a crucial role in speech production. It's located in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere and is responsible for the formation of speech and language. Damage to this area can result in expressive language difficulties, known as Broca's aphasia. So, in a nutshell, when you hear something, your auditory cortex processes the sound, and when you want to speak or understand speech, your left hemisphere, including Broca's area, is actively involved in language processing. It's quite fascinating how different areas of the brain work together to make hearing and speech possible!
Whether or not comprehension and/or speech are affected depends on the severity of the hydrocephaly and the extent of brain tissue damage. When the higher intellectual functions are affected (comprehension), it's due to tissue damage to that area of the brain that is responsible for that function. Same for adverse effects to Broca's area. In some cases, it may be auditory function that's been affected. If you understand what hydrocephalus is to begin with then it's almost self-explanatory.
