Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The location of the primary auditory cortex is in which lobe?
A
Frontal
B
Temporal
C
Parietal
D
Occipital
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The primary auditory cortex is located along the ventral surface of the temporal lobe inside the lateral fissure. Secondary auditory cortex, which receives projections from the primary auditory cortex, lies along the superior edge of the lateral surface of the temporal lobe thereby surrounding the primary cortex.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theprimary auditory cortex is located on the superior surface of the temporal lobe (Heschl gyrus); this is also known asarea A1, which corresponds to Brodmann area 41. Theauditory association cortex is also known asarea A2 and corresponds to Brodmann areas 22 and 42.
