The human primary auditory cortex is surrounded by at least six other, anatomically distinct areas that process auditory information. We have investigated their specialization with respect to sound recognition or sound localization with triple epoch functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm (recognition–localization–rest) in 18 normal individuals. In each study participant, the pattern of selective activation by the recognition or by the localization tasks was superimposed on the map of…

Functional Properties of Human Auditory Cortical Fields
TLDR
The reliable differences in functional properties between fields and field groups suggest that the basic primate pattern of auditory cortex organization is preserved in humans, and a comparison of the sizes of functionally defined ACFs in humans and macaques reveals a significant relative expansion in human lateral belt fields implicated in the processing of speech.
Where sound position influences sound object representations: A 7-T fMRI study
Architecture, Connectivity, and Transmitter Receptors of Human Auditory Cortex
TLDR
Current evidence reveals a model of parallel and hierarchical organization of the early-stage auditory areas with an early separation of specific processing streams.
Representation of Sound Objects within Early-Stage Auditory Areas: A Repetition Effect Study Using 7T fMRI
TLDR
Several, but not all early-stage auditory areas encode the meaning of environmental sounds, as found within the right hemisphere in primary areas A1 and R as well as two non-primary areas on the antero-medial part of the planum temporale.
Avances en corteza auditiva Advances in auditory cortex
TLDR
The auditory system allows us to detect and interpret the acoustic signals of the environment and thuschange the authors' behavior and thus change their behavior.
Neuroanatomical and perceptual deficits in auditory agnosia : a study of an auditory agnosia patient with inferior colliculus damage
TLDR
It is argued that the patient experiences auditory agnosia be- cause the brain stem injury prevents the transmission of critical auditory information to the auditory cortex.
Keeping track of sound objects in space: The contribution of early-stage auditory areas
Intrahemispheric cortico-cortical connections of the human auditory cortex
TLDR
The human early-stage auditory cortical connectivity, as revealed by in vivo DSI tractography, has strong similarities with that of non-human primates and is compatible with segregated processing streams and lateralization of cognitive functions.
Local landmark-based registration for fMRI group studies of nonprimary auditory cortex
Title : Intrahemispheric cortico-cortical connections of the human auditory cortex
The human auditory cortex comprises the supratemporal plane and large parts of the temporal and parietal convexities. We have investigated the relevant intrahemispheric cortico-cortical connections…

Distinct Pathways Involved in Sound Recognition and Localization: A Human fMRI Study
Evidence from psychophysical studies in normal and brain-damaged subjects suggests that auditory information relevant to recognition and localization are processed by distinct neuronal populations.…
A movement-sensitive area in auditory cortex
TLDR
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a higher-order field is found in the right auditory cortex that is activated by sound motion significantly more than other fields of the auditory cortex, which distinguishes whether a sound pattern is moving or stationary.
Functional Differentiation in the Human Auditory and Language Areas Revealed by a Dichotic Listening Task
TLDR
It is suggested that multiple auditory and language areas may play a pivotal role in integrating the functional differentiation for speech recognition, and two different response patterns in multiple auditory areas and language-related areas are found.
Human Primary Auditory Cortex: Cytoarchitectonic Subdivisions and Mapping into a Spatial Reference System
TLDR
In future, the transfer of in vivo structural and functional data into the same spatial reference system will enable accurate comparisons of cytoarchitectonic maps of the primary auditory cortex with activation centers as established with functional imaging procedures.
Parallel Processing in the Auditory Cortex of Primates
TLDR
The hypothesis is put forward that the central auditory pathways in the macaque monkey are organized into parallel streams, similar to the visual system, one for the processing of spatial information, the other for theprocessing of auditory ‘patterns’.
Distinct Mechanisms for Processing Spatial Sequences and Pitch Sequences in the Human Auditory Brain
TLDR
This functional magnetic resonance experiment investigated the human brain areas engaged in the analysis of pitch sequences and sequences of acoustic spatial locations in a paradigm in which both could be varied independently.
Cortical Activation during Perception of a Rotating Wide-Field Acoustic Stimulus
TLDR
Sound stimuli that produce the perception of complete rotation around the head are described, and regional brain activity during the perceived perception of such motion stimuli is compared with the perceptions of a control stimulus producing equivalent amplitude changes without rotation.
“What” and “where” in the human auditory system
TLDR
The converging evidence from two independent measurements of dissociable brain activity during identification and localization of identical stimuli provides strong support for specialized auditory streams in the human brain.

Temporal envelope processing in the human left and right auditory cortices.
TLDR
The results provide strong physiological support to the idea that the human auditory system decomposes the temporal envelope of sounds into its constituting AM components, and provide a physiological foundation for claims of functional specialization of auditory areas based on previous population measures.
