It is a part of the auditory system, performing basic and higher functions in hearing, such as possible relations to language switching . </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>
