Perception is characterized by a reciprocal exchange of predictions and prediction error
signals between neural regions. However, the relationship between such sensory mismatch …

The auditory thalamus and auditory cortex (AC) are pivotal structures in the central auditory
system. However, the thalamocortical mechanisms of processing sounds are largely …

Spatial patterns of functional organization, resolved by microelectrode mapping, comprise a
core principle of sensory cortices. In auditory cortex, however, recent two-photon Ca 2+ …

Natural sounds have rich spectrotemporal dynamics. Spectral information is spatially
represented in the auditory cortex (ACX) via large-scale maps. However, the representation …

The mouse auditory cortex (ACtx) contains two core fields—primary auditory cortex (A1) and
anterior auditory field (AAF)—arranged in a mirror reversal tonotopic gradient. The best …

The cerebral cortex is a major hub for the convergence and integration of signals from
across the sensory modalities; sensory cortices, including primary regions, are no exception …

This review summarizes recent findings on the lateralization of communicative sound
processing in the auditory cortex (AC) of humans, non‐human primates and rodents …

It has been proposed that sound information is separately streamed into onset and offset
pathways for parallel processing. However, how offset responses contribute to auditory …

An increase in number of neurons is presumed to underlie the enhancement of cognitive
abilities in brain evolution. The evolution of human cognition is then expected to have …

The inferior colliculus (IC) is an obligatory relay for ascending auditory inputs from the
brainstem and receives descending input from the auditory cortex. The IC comprises a …
