Inactivation experiments in auditory cortex (AC) produce widely varying results that
complicate interpretations regarding the precise role of AC in auditory perception and …

Practice sharpens our perceptual judgments, a process known as perceptual learning.
Although several brain regions and neural mechanisms have been proposed to support …

The olfactory bulb (OB) is a critical component of mammalian olfactory neuroanatomy.
Beyond being the first and sole relay station for olfactory information to the rest of the brain, it …

To thrive in a changing environment, organisms evolved strategies for rapidly modifying their
behavioral responses to sensory stimuli. In this review, we investigate the role of sensory …

The Zwicker tone illusion–an auditory phantom percept after hearing a notched noise
stimulus–can serve as an interesting model for acute tinnitus. Recent mechanistic models …

Somatostatin (SST) is widely expressed in the brain and plays various, vital roles involved in
neuromodulation. The purpose of this study is to characterize the organization of SST …

Many people are affected by tinnitus, a sensation of ringing in the ear despite the absence of
external sound. Goshajinkigan (GJG) is one of the formulations of Japanese traditional …

Introduction. Nitric oxide (NO) is present in various cell types in the central nervous system
and plays a crucial role in the control of various cellular functions. The diurnal Mongolian …

The olfactory bulb (OB) is a critical component of mammalian olfactory neuroanatomy.
Beyond being the first and sole relay station for olfactory information to the rest of the brain, it …

The Zwicker tone illusion can serve as an interesting model for acute tinnitus, an auditory
phantom percept still not fully understood. Recent mechanistic models suggest that the …
