The standard hierarchical signal transmission along the lemniscal auditory pathway in mice
changes in the cortex, where two tonotopically organized auditory regions receive thalamic …

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 …

Although it is known that primary auditory cortex (A1) contributes to the processing and
perception of sound, its precise functions and the underlying mechanisms are not well …

In the rodent auditory system, the primary cortex is subdivided into two regions, both
receiving direct inputs from the auditory thalamus: the primary auditory cortex (A1) and the …

The cerebral representation of the temporal envelope of sounds was studied in five normal-
hearing subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging. The stimuli were white …

Auditory neurons are likely adapted to process complex stimuli, such as vocalizations, which
contain spectrotemporal modulations. However, basic properties of auditory neurons are …

Mammals have multiple cortical fields with neurons responding to the full range of sound
frequencies sensed by the sensory epithelium of the ear, the cochlea. At first glance …

Three complementary approaches demonstrate new types of organization in rodent, feline
and primate auditory cortex, as well as differences in processing between auditory and …

The focus of most research on auditory cortical neurons has concerned the effects of rather
simple stimuli, such as pure tones or broad-band noise, or the modulation of a single …

How the brain processes temporal information embedded in sounds is a core question in
auditory research. This article synthesizes recent studies from our laboratory regarding …
