Wikipedia definition
2. Primary auditory cortexThe primary auditory cortex is a region of the brain that processes sound and thereby contributes to our ability to hear. It is the first cortical region of the auditory pathway. Corresponding roughly with Brodmann areas 41 and 42 of the cerebral cortex, it is located on the temporal lobe, and performs the basics of hearing—pitch and volume. Besides receiving input from the ear and lower centers of the brain, the primary auditory cortex also transmits signals back to these areas.
