Ways in which current knowledge of auditory cortical organisation and different data analysis approaches may benefit future functional neuroimaging studies which seek to link auditory cortical structure and function are discussed. Structure and function of auditory cortex: music and speech - ScienceDirect Volume 6, Issue 1, 1 January 2002, Pages 37-46 Review Structure and function of auditory cortex: music and speech Robert J. It is thought that the primary area, on Heschl’s gyrus, may have a larger involvement in processing basic sound features, such as frequency and level, and that posterior non-primary areas on the planum temporale may play a larger role in processing more spectrotemporally complex sounds. Superior Parietal Lobule, Precuneus, Somatosensory Cortex, Temporal Lobe, Primary Auditory Cortex. There is some neuroimaging evidence of multiple tonotopically organised fields in humans and of functional specialisations of the fields in the processing of different sound features. We review the pattern in human auditory cortex of the functional responses to various acoustic cues, such as frequency, pitch, sound level, temporal variation, motion and spatial location, and we discuss their correspondence to what is known about the organisation of the auditory cortex in other primates. In human nervous system: Hearing The auditory cortex provides the temporal and spatial frames of reference for the auditory data that it receives. Your cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, thinking, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, emotions, consciousness and functions related to your senses. In this paper, we discuss recent research concerning architectonic and functional organisation within the human auditory cortex, as well as architectonic and neurophysiological studies in non-human species, which can provide a broad conceptual framework for interpreting functional specialisation in humans. The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex. The human auditory cortex comprises multiple areas, largely distributed across the supratemporal plane, but the precise number and configuration of auditory areas and their functional significance have not yet been clearly established.
