Sensory perception is a product of interactions between the internal state of an organism
and the physical attributes of a stimulus. It has been shown across the animal kingdom that …

The basis for multiple representations of equivalent frequency ranges in auditory cortex was
studied with physiological and anatomical methods. Our goal was to trace the convergence …

An animal's behavioral state is reflected in the dynamics of cortical population activity and its
capacity to process sensory information. To better understand the relationship between …

The efficient cortical encoding of natural scenes is essential for guiding adaptive behavior.
Because natural scenes and network activity in cortical circuits share similar temporal …

A ubiquitous feature of neuronal responses within a cortical area is their high degree of
inhomogeneity. Even cells within the same functional column are known to have highly …

The functional organization of auditory cortex (AC) is still poorly understood. Previous
studies suggest segregation of auditory processing streams for spatial and nonspatial …

Cortical activity changes continuously during the course of the day. At a global scale,
population activity varies between the 'synchronized'state during sleep and …

Primary sensory cortex integrates sensory information from afferent feedforward
thalamocortical projection systems and convergent intracortical microcircuits. Both input …

Recent electrophysiological and neuroimaging studies provide converging evidence that
attending to sounds increases the response selectivity of neuronal ensembles even at the …

In the absence of sensory stimuli, spontaneous activity in the brain has been shown to
exhibit organization at multiple spatiotemporal scales. In the macaque auditory cortex …
