Robust perception of auditory objects over a large range of sound intensities is a
fundamental feature of the auditory system. However, firing characteristics of single neurons …

Recent studies have demonstrated the high selectivity of neurons in primary auditory cortex
(A1) and a highly sparse representation of sounds by the population of A1 neurons in awake …

In central auditory pathways, neurons exhibit a great diversity of temporal discharge
patterns, which may contribute to the parallel processing of auditory signals. How such …

The mouse auditory cortex is comprised of several auditory fields spanning the dorsoventral
axis of the temporal lobe. The ventral most auditory field is the temporal association cortex …

The mammalian neocortex is a six-layered structure organized into radial columns. Within
sensory cortical areas, information enters in the thalamorecipient layer and is further …

Functional columns of primary auditory cortex (AI) are arranged in layers, each composed of
highly connected fine-scale networks. The basic response properties and interactions within …

Extracellular recording studies have revealed diverse and selective neural responses in the
primary auditory cortex (A1) of awake animals. However, we have limited knowledge on …

In the primary auditory cortex (A1), neuronal ensembles are activated relative to anticipated
sound events following rhythmic stimulation, but whether the echo responses of the neurons …

Sensory cortical areas receive glutamatergic callosal projections that link information
processing between brain hemispheres. In primary auditory cortex (A1), ipsilateral principal …
