The timing of the first, and sometimes only, spike of auditory neurons evoked by an acoustic
stimulus depends on a variety of parameters. Recent studies have suggested that several of …

Understanding the neural mechanisms of invariant object recognition remains one of the
major unsolved problems in neuroscience. A common solution that is thought to be …

Neurons in the primary auditory cortex are tuned to the intensity and specific frequencies of
sounds, but the synaptic mechanisms underlying this tuning remain uncertain. Inhibition …

The human oncogene β-catenin is a bifunctional protein with critical roles in both cell
adhesion and transcriptional regulation in the Wnt pathway,,. Wnt/β-catenin signalling has …

1. Several studies of auditory cortex have examined the competitive inhibition that can occur
when appropriate sounds are presented to each ear. However, most cortical neurons also …

77: 2616–2641, 1997. Sound onsets are salient and behaviorally relevant, and most …

1. Neuronal responses to tones and transient stimuli were mapped with microelectrodes in
the primary auditory cortex (AI) of barbiturate anesthetized cats. Most of the dorsoventral …

We investigated modulations by stimulus components placed outside of the classical
receptive field in the primary auditory cortex (A1) of awake marmosets. Two classes of …

Recordings in experimental animals have detailed the tonotopic organization of auditory
cortex, including the presence of multiple tonotopic maps. In contrast, relatively little is …

This research was guided by the working hypothesis that the aging auditory system
progressively loses its ability to process rapid acoustic transients efficiently, and in elderly …
