Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2003 Nov:999:212-4. doi: 10.1196/annals.1284.032.

Abstract

The perceptual pitch dimensions of chroma and height have distinct representations in the human brain: chroma is represented in cortical areas anterior to primary auditory cortex, whereas height is represented posterior to primary auditory cortex.
