Primary auditory cortex (A1)
The A1 is located at the upper surface of the temporal lobes. The A1 is activated by multiple stimuli, such as speech sounds and the process of lip-reading in hearing individuals. This suggests an integration of senses to process information.

Auditory Parallel Processing
A patient has a small, localized brainstem lesion. While they can still hear sounds clearly with both ears and identify what the sounds are (e.g., a bell, a voice), they have significant difficulty determining the direction or location of the sound source. This specific deficit in sound localization suggests damage to which of the following structures?
