Neuronal responses in auditory cortex show a fascinating mixture of characteristics that
span the range from almost perfect copies of physical aspects of the stimuli to extremely …

Although the presence of neuromodulators in mammalian sensory systems has been noted
for some time, a groundswell of evidence has now begun to document the scope of these …

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is poised to become a standard nonhuman
primate aging model. With an average lifespan of 5 to 7 years and a maximum lifespan of …

It has been well documented that neurons in the auditory cortex of anaesthetized animals
generally display transient responses to acoustic stimulation, and typically respond to a brief …

Vocal communicators discriminate conspecific vocalizations from other sounds and
recognize the vocalizations of individuals. To identify neural mechanisms for the …

Combining information across different sensory modalities can greatly facilitate our ability to
detect, discriminate, or recognize sensory stimuli [1, 2]. Although this process of sensory …

How the brain processes temporal information embedded in sounds is a core question in
auditory research. This article synthesizes recent studies from our laboratory regarding …

Brain circuits endow behavioral flexibility. Here, we study circuits encoding flexible
chemotaxis in C. elegans, where the animal navigates up or down NaCl gradients (positive …

The auditory cortex of primates contains a core region of three primary areas surrounded by
a belt region of secondary areas. Recent neurophysiological studies suggest that the belt …

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 …
