The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

Computations in neocortical circuits are predominantly driven by synaptic integration of
excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic inputs. New optical, electrophysiological …

Brains can gracefully weed out irrelevant stimuli to guide behavior. This feat is believed to
rely on a progressive selection of task-relevant stimuli across the cortical hierarchy, but the …

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+ …

We review a simple yet versatile approach for the analysis of multichannel data, focusing in
particular on brain signals measured with EEG, MEG, ECoG, LFP or optical imaging …

Sensory detection tasks enhance representations of behaviorally meaningful stimuli in
primary auditory cortex (A1). However, it remains unclear how A1 encodes decision-making …

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

Cortical inhibitory circuits play important roles in shaping sensory processing. In auditory
cortex, however, functional properties of genetically identified inhibitory neurons are poorly …

Humans and other animals use spatial hearing to rapidly localize events in the environment.
However, neural encoding of sound location is a complex process involving the computation …

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 …
