primary auditory cortex

- receives nerve impulses from the ears - perceives sounds as human speech or environmental sounds but DOES NOT interpret their meanings

temporal lobes

essential for auditory processing of sounds for auditory comprehension and language processing

brainstem

includes the pons and medulla - all sensory and motor impulses sent to and from the brain pass through the brainstem - sensory and motor nerve fibers cross over here - controls face, mouth and larynx for production of speech

brocas areas

is in the pre motor cortex of the left hemisphere and controls the movements of the articulators for speech

prefrontal cortex

is part of the frontal lobes - motor areas such as the premotor cortex and motor cortex(carry messages to each other) lie behind it. Broca's area is in the premotor cortex

cerebellum

lies right below the temporal and occipital lobes and communicates with the brain, brainstem and spinal cord. - coordinates muscle groups for smooth, accurate, movements of the body and articulators,

Wernicks area
