Textbook descriptions of primary sensory cortex (PSC) revolve around single neurons'
representation of low-dimensional sensory features, such as visual object orientation in …

Cortical circuits contain multiple types of inhibitory neurons which shape how information is
processed within neuronal networks. Here, we asked whether somatostatin-expressing …

Highlights•The responses of neurons in the auditory cortex (AC) to complex sounds cannot
be predicted based on their responses to tones.•AC tone-evoked responses are shaped by …

Functional neuroimaging research provides detailed observations of the response patterns
that natural sounds (eg human voices and speech, animal cries, environmental sounds) …

Neuronal activity in auditory cortex is often highly synchronous between neighboring
neurons. Such coordinated activity is thought to be crucial for information processing. We …

Accurate sound perception can require integrating information over hundreds of
milliseconds or even seconds. Spectro-temporal models of sound coding by single neurons …

The ability to discriminate between complex natural sounds is critical for survival. Changes
in arousal and other aspects of behavioral state can impact the accuracy of sensory coding …

Sensory environments often contain an overwhelming amount of information, with both
relevant and irrelevant information competing for neural resources. Feature attention …

Cortical neuronal populations can use a multitude of codes to represent information, each
with different advantages and trade-offs. The auditory cortex represents sounds via a sparse …

Most models of auditory cortical (AC) population coding have focused on primary auditory
cortex (A1). Thus our understanding of how neural coding for sounds progresses along the …
