Learning objectives

?Receptors

?Ascending pathway of hearing

?Involvement of nuclei at different level

?Applied anatomy

2

Auditory pathway

?Transmits auditory stimulus from hearing receptors

(organ of corti`s) to auditory area in cerebral cortex.

1. Organ of Corti (receptor)

2. Dorsal & ventral cochlear nuclei

3. Trapezoid body & Superior olivary nuclei

4. Lateral lamniscus

5. Inferior colliculus

6. Medial geniculate body

7. Auditory radiation

8. Auditory cortex

Auditory pathway

?Cochlear nu-receptors- hair cells in Organ of Corti
?1st order neuron- spiral ganglion- bipolar neurons ?

peripheral process- hair cells of spiral ganglion ? central
processes & axons - cochlear nerve- bifurcates & terminate
in Dorsal & Ventral Cochlear Nu ? 2nd order neurons -
dorsal & ventral ? axons CROSS & few uncrossed in dorsal
part of Lower part of pons - Superior Olivary nucleus-

?3rd Neuron ? Superior Olivary Nucleus - lateral lemniscus

Formation of Trapezoid body- In dorsal part of pons ?
intermediate /dorsal acoustic striae-nucleus of trapezoid
body.

?Lateral lemniscus ? terminate at ?Inferior Colliculus (MB)
?Inferior colliculus - 4th order of neuron- (Inf Brachiaum)


Auditory pathway

?Inferior colliculus - 4th Order Neuron - center for

auditory reflexes Medial Geniculate body
through inferior brachium.

?Medial Geniculate body - 5th order of neuron & is -

Final Relay Station - hearing pathway.

?5th order of neuron ? starts from MGB- forms

acoustic radiation -reaches- acoustic area of
cerebral hemisphere ?

?Acoustic area accepts bilateral impulses.

?Temporal lobe - Superior Temporal gyrus area

41,42.

Auditory area....

?Primary auditory area - floor of post ramus of lateral

sulcus.

?Superior surface of superior temporal gyrus has two

transverse temporal gyri (Heschl's gyrus)

? area-41 & 42 receives inputs from medial geniculate

body.

Auditory areas

?Primary auditory area ? area 41

?Superior temporal gyrus ? bilateral representation

?Detection of direction & frequency of sound.

?Lower frequencies are located in anterior/lateral

part & higher frequencies are located in
posterior/medial part

?Auditory association area - area 42 ? co-relates

and comprehension of present stimulus to past
ones

?Higher Auditory association area - area 22 ?

Wernicke's area- comprehension of spoken
language & interpretation of sound.
Auditory areas

?Lesion of primary auditory area 41 & 42 of one side

produces bilateral partial deafness, b/o bilateral
receiving of inputs via medial geniculate body.

?Auditory association cortex- area 22 , Wernicke's

speech area. Interpretation of sounds on past
experiences. Sensory aphasia.

?Olfactory area- 28 , lateral olfactory stria & gyrus

,anterior part of parahippocampal gyrus & uncinate
gyrus.

?Area 8 ? frontal eye field

?Area 44 & 45 ? Broca's speech area ? motor

speech area in dominant cerebral hemisphere.

?Prefrontal cortex- (area - 9-12)

?Depth of feeling

?Foresightedness

?Tactfulness

?Mature judgement

?Pleasure & displeasure
?Lesion of prefrontal cortex (9 -12) - Lack of self

responsibility ,Vulgarity of speech, euphoria ,
clownish behaviour

?Area-40- Astereognosis & tactile aphasia

?Area-39 ? word blindness ? unable to read

words even if were written by one self

?Area 22 - word deafness - sensory aphasia.

Decreased interpretation of sounds/words and

increased frequency of word produced....

?Area 44 & 45 ? motor aphasia

Speech area....

Wernicke's area- 22, dominant hemisphere ,

interpretation of spoken ,written ,symbols & signs.
Allows understanding of written & spoken language.
Angular gyrus - interconnects -visual area & auditory
areas.

Wernicke's is necessary for- language

comprehension while Broca's area, 44, language
production. Superior longitudinal fasciculus or
arcuate fasciculus interconnect these two areas.

Sensory aphasia- unable to understand written or

spoken words with normal vision/hearing.
Speech area's.....

?Apraxia- parietal lobe -impairment of performance

of learned movements.

?Wernicke's aphasia- inability to understand spoken or

written words ? Broca's ok- uses all meaningless and

incorrect words...no meaning. Called-fluent aphasia
or receptive aphasia ,

?Broca's aphasia- unable to articulate words-

nonfluent aphasia, hesitant aphasia /distorted-

?What they wish to say but can not speak.

?Global aphasia- extensive damage to cortex
