Here's a breakdown:
* Auditory cortex: Located within the temporal lobe, this area processes sounds and is crucial for hearing.
* Wernicke's area: Also in the temporal lobe, this area is involved in understanding language. Damage to this area can lead to difficulty understanding spoken and written language.
While other lobes play a role in language (e.g., the frontal lobe for speech production), the temporal lobe is the primary location for auditory processing and language comprehension.
