Which of the following is true about tonotopic representation?
 | |
 |
different frequencies of sound are represented in particular regions of the basilar membrane.; |
 |
different frequencies of sound are represented in particular regions of primary auditory cortex.; |
 |
the medial portion of auditory cortex contains the representation of the basal end (by the oval window) of the basilar membrane.; |
 |
the lateral portion of the auditory cortex contains the representation of the apical end of the basilar membrane.; |
 |
all of the alternatives are correct; |
CORRECT - Yes, tonotopic representation typifies the organization of frequency analysis within the auditory system. Different frequencies are represented in particular regions of the pathway as described in all the alternatives provided.
