Document Summary
Hearing & temporal lobes: know the anatomy of the outer, middle and inner ear, be able to identify ear drum, oval window, round window, cochlea. 8th cranial nerve transmits information from cochlea. Spatial arrangement of neuronal responses to auditory stimuli (tones close to each other in terms of frequency are spatially near each other in the brain) Primary auditory cortex transverse temporal gyri: where is the secondary auditory cortex? located in superior temporal gyrus. Organized tonotopically, frequency discrimination and sound localization. Superior temporal gyrus inferior temporal superior temporal sulcus. Sound and vision; assigning stimuli to categorical classes. Connection emerging from the auditory and visual hierarchical pathways. Directed to neurons enfolded within the superior temporal sulcus (superior temporal gyrus inferior temporal gyrus superior temporal sulcus) Believed to be involved in assigning stimuli to categorical classes. Major destinations: amygdala and hippocampus results of the integration of information into, memory, emotional tone. Performant pathway forms the main projection to the hippocampus.
