Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Location of the primary auditory cortex. In the LEFT hemisphere, this structure contains Wernicke’s area (language comprehension). Damage to the primary auditory cortex will result in problems hearing sounds. Damage to Wernicke’s area will result in problems understanding what someone says to you.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary auditory cortex (A1) is located on the superior temporal gyrus in the temporal lobe and receives point-to-point input from the ventral division of the medial geniculate complex; thus, it contains a precise tonotopic map.
Detailed explanation-3: -They found hearing impairment to be related to a decrease of GM volume in specifically the right temporal lobe.
