<Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy (edit on Wikidata) </Td> </Tr> <P> The primary auditory cortex is the part of the temporal lobe that processes auditory information in humans and other vertebrates . It is a part of the auditory system, performing basic and higher functions in hearing . </P> <P> It is located bilaterally, roughly at the upper sides of the temporal lobes--in humans on the superior temporal plane, within the lateral fissure and comprising parts of Heschl's gyrus and the superior temporal gyrus, including planum polare and planum temporale (roughly Brodmann areas 41, 42, and partially 22). Unilateral destruction results in slight hearing loss, whereas bilateral destruction results in cortical deafness . </P> <P> The auditory cortex was previously subdivided into primary (A1) and secondary (A2) projection areas and further association areas . The modern divisions of the auditory cortex are the core (which includes A1), the belt, and the parabelt . The belt is the area immediately surrounding the core; the parabelt is adjacent to the lateral side of the belt . </P>
