Auditory pathway

• Ossicles: Malleus, Incus, Stapes (MIS)
• Oval window transmits the waves, round window releases them
• Hair cells sit on basilar membrane with tips embedded on tectorial membrane

Bilateral - to compared timing and loudness

• Low pitch information projects to anteroLateral part of primary auditory cortex

• Expressive speech (Broca's area) - motor production of words
• Receptive speech (Wernicke's area) - sensory, understanding
