A1
- heavily myelinated (Glasser et al. (2016) - Nature)
Anatomical Location
- Herschl’s Gyrus is the A1 (same location) (Glasser et al. (2016) - Nature)
- PAC (primary AC) usually covers the medial two-thirds of the anterior HG (176) (Friederici (2011) - Physiological Reviews)
- same location in monkeys, A1 → ML/AL →vlPFC
- AL/ML are here: auditory cortex ventral and dorsal stream monkey.png (Cohen et al. (2016) - Springer)
Functions
- A1’s role in auditory percetion is controversial. (Cohen et al. (2016) - Springer)
- ist es immer noch controversial? aber eigentlich auch nicht so relevant für uns
- highest myelination, also highest FC with MGN (Medial Geniculate Nucleus) → therefore primary source for auditory signals from lower areas as the MGN
- auch lateralized → Lateralization in Auditory Stream
Connectivity
Before A1 in lower areas
