Cognitive functions:
detects acoustic signal features (Abdul-Kareem & Sluming, 2008)
Physical location:
center of the transverse temporal gyrus (Abdul-Kareem & Sluming, 2008)
Mnemonic:
Premier Audy Cortex is caught noisily screwing a hot transvestite.
Premier Audy Cortex → Primary Auditory Cortex
caught noisily → detecting acoustic signal features
screwing → inside → center
hot → temperature → temporal
transvestite → transverse
