About auditory centers in the cortex of hemispheres

Abstract

The subject of research on the cortical auditory center from the number of mammals, as is known, were dogs and monkeys. The main studies of the auditory center in monkeys and dogs are studies of Ferrier'a and Munk'a. The first showed that the auditory center is placed in the first temporal gyrus in monkeys: according to Ferrier, when this gyrus is destroyed in one hemisphere, hearing is lost on the opposite side, when the same gyrus is destroyed in both hemispheres, deafness occurs in both ears. Although these observations by Ferrier were subsequently disputed, in later experiments carried out with Jeo, Ferrier reaffirms the results of his earlier studies.
