Description
Music and the human brain. Illustration of a human brain in a female figure, with highlighted areas showing regions affected by hearing musical notes (lower right). The coloured traces (across top) may represent a form of synaesthesia, with sounds being perceived as colours. Sound signals are passed from the ears via the auditory nerves to the auditory brainstem. Key deep-seated brain areas (left) are the cochlear nucleus, the trapezoid body, the superior olivary complex, the lateral lemniscus, the inferior colliculi, and the medial geniculate nucleus (part of the auditory thalamus). The cerebellum is also involved in auditory processing. The areas of the cerebral cortex involved in hearing (right) include the primary auditory cortex (part of the temporal lobe) and the surrounding regions of the secondary auditory cortex.
