Located on the surface of the temporal lobes, the primary auditory cortex of each hemisphere processes input from the opposite ear. Cranial nerves, however, communicate with both hemispheres.

Animals, including humans, rely on multiple senses to navigate their environments and make decisions. This integration of ...

Lupus can cause hearing loss. This is often due to inflammation or immune responses affecting the inner ear. Symptoms can include difficulty hearing certain frequencies, ringing in the ears (tinnitus) ...

Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...

If a breakdown occurs anywhere along this pathway, it is referred to as a conductive hearing loss. Certain types of ...

The auditory brainstem operates in a similar fashion ... these same strategies may be applicable to other sensory pathways, offering new ways to understand how the brain processes sensory ...

Abnormal asymmetry in the frontal and temporal areas. Dysfunctional, underdeveloped or overdeveloped connections between auditory and motor regions in the brain. Music making and intensive musical ...

They state that there is “little evidence for circumscribed areas of the auditory cortex being uniquely ... their model supports a dorsal pathway for extracting a verbal message and a ventral ...
