How do neurons work together? Lessons from auditory cortex

KD Harris, P Bartho, P Chadderton, C Curto… - Hearing research, 2011 - Elsevier
Recordings of single neurons have yielded great insights into the way acoustic stimuli are

Diversity in excitation-inhibition mismatch underlies local functional heterogeneity in the rat auditory cortex

C Tao, G Zhang, C Zhou, L Wang, S Yan, HW Tao… - Cell reports, 2017 - cell.com

fundamental for the processing of different features of sensory information. However …

Sound categories are represented as distributed patterns in the human auditory cortex

N Staeren, H Renvall, F De Martino, R Goebel… - Current biology, 2009 - cell.com
The ability to recognize sounds allows humans and animals to efficiently detect behaviorally
relevant events, even in the absence of visual information. Sound recognition in the human …

Cell assemblies of the superficial cortex

KD Harris - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
The auditory cortex encodes information about sounds through the combined activity of

Level invariant representation of sounds by populations of neurons in primary auditory cortex

S Sadagopan, X Wang - Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
A fundamental feature of auditory perception is the constancy of sound recognition over a
large range of intensities. Although this invariance has been described in behavioral …
