Neurons in primary auditory cortex represent sound source location in a cue-invariant manner

KC Wood, SM Town, JK Bizley - Nature Communications, 2019 - nature.com
Auditory cortex is required for sound localisation, but how neural firing in auditory cortex
underlies our perception of sound sources in space remains unclear. Specifically, whether …

Populations of auditory cortical neurons can accurately encode acoustic space across stimulus intensity

LM Miller, GH Recanzone - Proceedings of the National …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
The auditory cortex is critical for perceiving a sound's location. However, there is no
topographic representation of acoustic space, and individual auditory cortical neurons are …

Location coding by opponent neural populations in the auditory cortex

GC Stecker, IA Harrington, JC Middlebrooks - PLoS biology, 2005 - journals.plos.org
Although the auditory cortex plays a necessary role in sound localization, physiological
investigations in the cortex reveal inhomogeneous sampling of auditory space that is difficult …

Decoding neural responses to temporal cues for sound localization

DFM Goodman, V Benichoux, R Brette - Elife, 2013 - elifesciences.org
The activity of sensory neural populations carries information about the environment. This
may be extracted from neural activity using different strategies. In the auditory brainstem, a …

Book Review: Cortical Neurons That Localize Sounds

JC Middlebrooks, L Xu, S Furukawa… - The …, 2002 - journals.sagepub.com
Efforts to locate a cortical map of auditory space generally have proven unsuccessful. At
moderate sound levels, cortical neurons generally show large or unbounded spatial …

The synaptic representation of sound source location in auditory cortex

P Chadderton, JP Agapiou, D McAlpine… - Journal of …, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
A key function of the auditory system is to provide reliable information about the location of
sound sources. Here, we describe how sound location is represented by synaptic input …

Distributed coding of sound locations in the auditory cortex

GC Stecker, JC Middlebrooks - Biological cybernetics, 2003 - Springer
Although the auditory cortex plays an important role in sound localization, that role is not
well understood. In this paper, we examine the nature of spatial representation within the …

Competing sound sources reveal spatial effects in cortical processing

RK Maddox, CP Billimoria, BP Perrone… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Why is spatial tuning in auditory cortex weak, even though location is important to object
recognition in natural settings? This question continues to vex neuroscientists focused on …

Active sound localization sharpens spatial tuning in human primary auditory cortex

K van der Heijden, JP Rauschecker… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Spatial hearing sensitivity in humans is dynamic and task-dependent, but the mechanisms in
human auditory cortex that enable dynamic sound location encoding remain unclear. Using …
