where are auditory signals processed in the brain
Auditory cortex The primary auditory cortex is the part of the temporal lobe that processes auditory information in humans and other vertebrates. It is a part of the auditory system, performing basic and higher functions in hearing, such as possible relations to language switching.[1][2]
Temporal lobe The temporal lobe holds the primary auditory cortex, which is important for the processing of semantics in both speech and vision in humans. Wernicke's area, which spans the region between temporal and parietal lobes, plays a key role (in tandem with Broca's area in the frontal lobe) in speech comprehension.[7] The functions of the left temporal lobe are not limited to low-level perception but extend to comprehension, naming, and verbal memory.[citation needed]
