The auditory cortex encodes information about sounds through the combined activity of
large numbers of neurons, but the way this population activity is organized has not been …

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 …

The organization of the cortical auditory system remains controversial. In particular, the
extent to which there is regional specialization in the cortical processing of complex sound is …

Recent evidence indicates the existence of pyramidal cells (PCs) and interneurons with
nontrivial tuning characteristics for sound attributes in the primary auditory cortex (A1) of …

Accumulating evidence suggests that auditory cortical neurons exhibit widespread-onset
responses and restricted sustained responses to sound stimuli. When a sound stimulus is …

We are able to rapidly recognize and localize the many sounds in our environment. We can
describe any of these sounds in terms of various independent “features” such as their …

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

Segmenting the complex acoustic mixture that makes a typical auditory scene into relevant
perceptual objects is one of the main challenges of the auditory system [1], for both human …

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 …

Auditory perception depends on the coding and organization of the information-bearing
acoustic features of sounds by auditory neurons. We report here that auditory neurons can …
