Both mice and primates are used to model the human auditory system. The primate order
possesses unique cortical specializations that govern auditory processing. Given the power …

In many animals, the information most important for processing communication sounds,
including speech, consists of temporal envelope cues below∼ 20 Hz. Physiological studies …

We investigated neural coding of sinusoidally modulated tones (sAM and sFM) in the
primary auditory cortex (A1) of awake marmoset monkeys, demonstrating that there are …

Fluctuations in the amplitude envelope of complex sounds provide critical cues for hearing,
particularly for speech and animal vocalizations. Responses to amplitude modulation (AM) …

Temporal modulations are fundamental components of human speech and animal
communication sounds. Understanding their representations in the auditory cortex is a …

Studies of the encoding of sensory stimuli by the brain often consider recorded neurons as a
pool of identical units. Here, we report divergence in stimulus-encoding properties between …

The precise timing of spikes of cortical neurons relative to stimulus onset carries substantial
sensory information. To access this information the sensory systems would need to maintain …

Changes in amplitude and frequency jointly determine much of the communicative
significance of complex acoustic signals, including human speech. We have previously …

Conflicting results have led to different views about how temporal modulation is encoded in
primary auditory cortex (A1). Some studies find a substantial population of neurons that …

Biologically relevant sounds such as speech, animal vocalizations and music have
distinguishing temporal features that are utilized for effective auditory perception. Common …
