Heschl's gyrus in the brain contains
Answer: c) Primary auditory cortex.* Area 41 is the primary auditory cortex; area 42 is the associative (secondary) auditory cortex.* Together, these areas are referred to as Heschl's gyrus.* They receive input (via the auditory radiations) from the medial geniculate.* The surrounding temporal cortex (area 22) is the auditory association cortex. In the posterior part of area 22 (in the posterior third of the superior temporal gyrus) is Wernicke's area, which plays an important role in the comprehension of language.* The remaining temporal areas are multimodal association areas.BRODMANN AREA* Primary motor.
