How the Body Works : The Auditory Pathways

The Auditory Pathways

The auditory center, in the brain, shown above in red, is concerned with hearing. Although shown here on the outer surface of the brain, most of this area lies within the temporal lobes and is found within the surface of the cerebral cortex on both sides of the brain. The auditory pathways begin in the nerve fibers of the organ of Corti in the inner ear, where sound waves are converted to nerve impulses. These impulses travel in the auditory nerve to the auditory cortex of the brain. During their passage to the auditory center, some of the auditory nerve fibers cross in the brain stem. This results in the sound which enters one ear passing to both cortices. The impulses are relayed in the lateral lemnisci and from there, via the medial geniculate nuclei, to the auditory cortices in the temporal lobes of the brain, where sound is perceived.

use guyton & hall physiology.. gud description thr

[freyajean]

0:45 perceived sound? = a charge of nerve impulses is that correct?

Why doctor focus on Audiologist test first then put cochlear implant. They failed ???

BRAIN: SPEECH AREA DAMAGED OR UNDEVELOPED? pplus audiory processing damaged?

I searched this video, only to try to understand why after 4 years, I still cannot tune my freaking guitar or distinguish tones!

I am not tone deaf, and I love music.

but am having a terrible time memorizing notes and pitches !!!

.... do I have .... "Audiory Processing Disorder"

[BigPandaBearHug]

I am suspicious of having both a Audiory Processing Disorder AND a Visual Processing Disorder.

Question: I had a hard time comprehending and/or remembering what the person in this video was saying. Is that an example of a Auditory Processing Disorder?

This is a serious question, and is not meant to be a joke. If anyone, with knowledge about Auditory Processing Disorder, can answer my question, that would be great, Thank you.

hello. anybody knows how does inferior colliculus fit into the picture?

[eemmah]

too short, not enough detail, annoying voice. shit.

I'm guessing some of you are also taking Perceptions in Psychology, or Biology in university or at a basic level in highschool lol???
