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

The correct answer is B. Some neurons combine information from the specialist cells.

Answer 2

The answer is C. Some neurons categorize sounds into their specific frequency

Human's can only hear frequencies from between 20 hz - 20,000 Hz. If our neurons sensed that the sound is more than that frequency (which could damage our ear), it will send signals to our body to cover our eardrum
