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 one bone is superior to the temporal bone?
The parietal bone is superior.
What region is superior to the lateral sulcus?
The lateral sulcus separates the temporal lobe inferior and the parietal lobe superior.
What happens if the superior and medial part of the right precentral gyrus get destroyed?
Language and language comprehension would be affected.
What arches over diencephalon?
The cingulate gyrus
What cerebral lobe is the auditory cortex?
The visual cortex is located in the occipital lobe. The frontal lobe houses intellect, emotions, behavior and personality, and the parietal lobe houses sensation.
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 parietal bone is superior.
Damage to the fusiform gyrus of the right inferior temporal cortex may result in a rare condition known as?
prosopagnosia: inability to recognize faces
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 is the superior border of the temporal lobe marked by?
lateral sulcus
What region is superior to the lateral sulcus?
The lateral sulcus separates the temporal lobe inferior and the parietal lobe superior.
What is the much of the lateral and superior cranium?
temporal lobes?
Which lobe is olfactory cortex?
The olfactory cortex is a part of the superior temporal lobe.
What happens if the superior and medial part of the right precentral gyrus get destroyed?
Language and language comprehension would be affected.
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.
What arches over diencephalon?
The cingulate gyrus
