The Human Auditory Cortex

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 43))

Abstract

Auditory cortex, in the classic sense of the term, is taken to be the cluster of anatomically and physiologically distinct areas of temporal neocortex that are uniquely and reciprocally connected with one another and with the medial geniculate body and related thalamic nuclear groups. In humans, as many as seven or eight anatomically distinct auditory cortical fields have been identified on the supratemporal plane and posterolateral superior temporal gyrus (STG) (see Clarke and Morosan, Chapter 2).
