Auditory Area of BrainThis schematic view of some of the auditory areas of the brain shows that information from both ears goes to both sides of the brain - in fact, binaural information is present in all of the major relay stations illustrated here. That is, when the auditory nerve from one ear takes information to the brain, that information is directly sent to both the processing areas on both sides of the brain.  |
