The ability to recognize auditory objects like words and bird songs is thought to depend on
neural responses that are selective between categories of the objects and tolerant of …

Over the past decade, renewed interest in the auditory system has resulted in a surge of
anatomical and physiological research in the primate auditory cortex and its targets …

Auditory communication in humans and other animals frequently takes place in noisy
environments with many co‐occurring signallers. Receivers are thus challenged to rapidly …

The avian auditory system has become a model system to investigate how vocalizations are
memorized and processed by the brain in order to mediate behavioral discrimination and …

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 …

To map the encoding of auditory cues in songbirds, multiunit electrophysiological responses
to pure tone stimuli (250–5000 Hz) were recorded at 373 sites throughout the avian …

The caudomedial nidopallium (NCM) of songbirds is a telencephalic area involved in the
auditory processing and memorization of complex vocal communication signals. We used …

Perceptual filters formed early in development provide an initial means of parsing the
incoming auditory stream. However, these filters may not remain fixed, and may be updated …

The caudomedial nidopallium (NCM) is a higher level region of auditory cortex in songbirds
that has been implicated in encoding learned vocalizations and mediating perception of …

Learning typically increases the strength of responses and the number of neurons that
respond to training stimuli. Few studies have explored representational plasticity using …
