Question

Which of the following statements best explains how some neurons in the primary auditory cortex help people recognize and distinguish between the sounds they hear?
A.) Some neurons prefer a certain frequency, such as high sounds.
B.) Some neurons combine information from the specialist cells.
C.) Some neurons categorize sounds into their specific frequency.
D.) Some neurons process specific types of sounds, such as voices.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

The primary auditory cortex is a collection of neuron present in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe.

The neurons which are the fundamental unit of a nervous system in the primary cortex of the brain are specialized to interpret and discriminate the components or elements of sounds.  

The neurons can categorize the elements of the sound into their specific frequency i.e they can categorize the elements like pitch and loudness of sound which have different frequencies.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
