Development of the Nervous System - Auditory System - Auditory Cortex

3 important questions on Development of the Nervous System - Auditory System - Auditory Cortex

How is the secondary auditory cortex located?

As a belt around the PAC. Outside this are the parabelt regions.

What are two characteristics of the Primary Auditory Cortex?

1. The PAC is organized in functional columns.

2. The PAC is organized tonotopically.

Which two pathways are suggested by researchers from the PAC to the other cortexes?

1. Anterior Auditory Pathway; involved in identifying sounds (what).

2. Posterior Auditory Pathway; involved in located sounds (where).

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
