The superior temporal gyrus contains the primary auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds. Specific sound frequencies map precisely onto the primary auditory cortex. This auditory (or tonotopic) map is similar to the homunculus map of the primary motor cortex. Some areas of the superior temporal gyrus are specialized for processing combinations of frequencies, and other areas are specialized for processing changes in amplitude or frequency. The superior temporal gyrus also includes the Wernicke's area, which (in most people) is located in the left hemisphere. It is the major area involved in the comprehension of language. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) is involved in auditory processing, including language, but also has been implicated as a critical structure in social cognition.
What else can I help you with?
What one bone is superior to the temporal bone?
The sphenoid bone is superior to the temporal bone in the skull.
What part of the brain is responsible for hearing and language comprehension?
The temporal lobe, specifically the auditory cortex located in the superior temporal gyrus, is responsible for processing auditory information related to hearing and language comprehension. Additionally, Wernicke's area, located in the temporal lobe, plays a crucial role in language comprehension.
The primary auditory cortex is located?
the temporal lobe
The primary somatosensory area of the cerebral hemisphere is found in the precentral gyrus. true or false?
False. The primary somatosensory area is located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe, not the precentral gyrus. The postcentral gyrus is responsible for processing sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints.
What happens if the superior and medial part of the right precentral gyrus get destroyed?
Damage to the superior and medial part of the right precentral gyrus can lead to weakness or paralysis on the left side of the body, since this area is responsible for controlling movement on the opposite side. Additionally, it may also result in other motor deficits and fine motor skill impairments. Recovery and rehabilitation can help improve function to some extent.
What are the two main gyri and sulci that can be seen on the most superior portion of the brain?
Superior frontal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, superior frontal sulcus, superior temporal sulcus
What Lobe is Wernicke's area in?
I believe it is the temporal lobe. Posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe
What one bone is superior to the temporal bone?
The sphenoid bone is superior to the temporal bone in the skull.
What is the superior border of the temporal lobe marked by?
The superior border of the temporal lobe is marked by the lateral sulcus, also known as the Sylvian fissure. It separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes.
What is planum temporale?
The planum temporale is a region in the brain located in the superior temporal gyrus, typically larger in the left hemisphere in most individuals, and plays a role in auditory processing, language comprehension, and other higher cognitive functions. It is known for its involvement in language and communication abilities.
What is the uncus?
Any hook-shaped or curved part of a body process. esp. the hippocampal gyrus in the temporal lobe of the brain. Hope i helped :)
What part of the brain is responsible for hearing and language comprehension?
The temporal lobe, specifically the auditory cortex located in the superior temporal gyrus, is responsible for processing auditory information related to hearing and language comprehension. Additionally, Wernicke's area, located in the temporal lobe, plays a crucial role in language comprehension.
The primary auditory cortex is located?
the temporal lobe
What gyrus lies directly posterior to the precentral gyrus?
The post central gyrus lies directly posterior to the precentral gyrus. Both of these gyrus are located in the brain and are also almost parallel to one another.
Which lobe is olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is a part of the superior temporal lobe.
The part of the brain devoted to perceiving faces is the?
Apparently, there is more than one part of the brain that is devoted to the perception of faces. These include occipital face area, the fusiform face area, the superior temporal sulcus, the amygdala and parts of the temporal lobe.
Damage to the fusiform gyrus of the right inferior temporal cortex may result in a rare condition known as?
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness. This condition affects a person's ability to recognize faces, including those of familiar individuals. It is caused by damage to the fusiform gyrus, a region of the brain involved in face processing.
