Neurons in visual, somatosensory, and auditory cortex can respond to the termination as
well as the onset of a sensory stimulus. In auditory cortex, these off responses may underlie …

We propose a model of the primary auditory cortex (A1), in which each iso-frequency column
is represented by a recurrent neural network with short-term synaptic depression. Such …

It has been proposed that sound information is separately streamed into onset and offset
pathways for parallel processing. However, how offset responses contribute to auditory …

In the auditory cortex, brief sounds elicit a powerful suppression of responsiveness that can
persist for hundreds of milliseconds. This forward suppression (sometimes also called …

Intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons have spike rates that are nonmonotonic functions of
sound intensity: their spike rate initially increases and peaks as sound intensity is increased …

A sound embedded in an acoustic stream cannot be unambiguously segmented and
identified without reference to its stimulus context. To understand the role of stimulus context …

Many synapses show short-term depression, but it is not well understood what functional
purpose depression serves and whether its effects are beneficial or detrimental to …

In vivo voltage clamp recordings have provided new insights into the synaptic mechanisms
that underlie processing in the primary auditory cortex. Of particular importance are the …

We investigated how physiologically observed forward suppression interacts with stimulus
frequency in neuronal responses in the guinea pig auditory cortex. The temporal order and …

Both behavioral and neural responses to sounds are generally modified by the acoustic
context in which they are encountered. As an example, in the auditory cortex, preceding …
