The sensory responses of cortical neuronal populations following training have been
extensively studied. However, the spike firing properties of individual cortical neurons …

Cortical processing of auditory stimuli involves large populations of neurons with distinct
individual response profiles. However, the functional organization and dynamics of local …

A central tenet in brain research is that early sensory cortex is modality specific, and, only in
exceptional cases, such as deaf and blind subjects or professional musicians, is influenced …

How do neuronal populations in the auditory cortex represent acoustic stimuli? Although
sound-evoked neural responses in the anesthetized auditory cortex are mainly transient …

Recordings of single neurons have yielded great insights into the way acoustic stimuli are
represented in auditory cortex. However, any one neuron functions as part of a population …

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 …

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 …

In the auditory cortex of awake animals, a substantial number of neurons do not respond to
pure tones. These neurons have historically been classified as “unresponsive” and even …

An important question in auditory neuroscience concerns how the neural representation of
sound features changes from the periphery to the cortex. Here we focused on the encoding …

Sensory stimuli have long been thought to be represented in the brain as activity patterns of
specific neuronal assemblies. However, we still know relatively little about the long-term …
