Layout of Neurons in Wernicke's Area and Direct Speech Pathways
1:15:14 - 1:21:10 (05:56)
The layout of neurons in Wernicke's area in terms of representing sound frequencies and vowels is not yet clearly understood. However, recent studies suggest that speech can be processed directly by the speech cortex without going through the primary auditory cortex.

The layout of the neurons in Wernicke's area, responsible for language and sound processing, may have a systematic layout in terms of sound frequency and vowel representation, much like the visual system's mapping of visual position.

Research suggests that speech can go straight to the speech cortex without the need to go through the primary auditory cortex in the brain.

Brain Science
Summary
Research suggests that speech can go straight to the speech cortex without the need to go through the primary auditory cortex in the brain. The primary auditory cortex contains multiple tone frequency maps that create mirrors for sounds.
