Question

The primary auditory cortex is located in which lobe of the brain?

• A. Frontal
• B. Parietal
• C. Temporal
• D. Occipital

Hint:

Temporal lobe = “Tempo” = sound and music processing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The primary auditory cortex is located in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe, specifically in the transverse temporal gyri (Heschl’s gyri). It is responsible for processing auditory information such as pitch, volume, and sound localization.
- Frontal lobe: motor function, speech production
- Parietal lobe: sensory integration, spatial awareness
- Occipital lobe: visual processing
