How does the brain encode information about the environment? Decades of research have
led to the pervasive notion that the object-processing pathway in primate cortex consists of …

Analysis of regional corpus callosum fiber composition reveals that callosal regions
connecting primary and secondary sensory areas tend to have higher proportions of coarse …

An unresolved issue in cortical development concerns the relative contributions of intrinsic
and extrinsic factors to the functional specification of different cortical areas,,,. Ferrets in …

Traditionally the auditory system was considered a hard-wired sensory system; this view has
been challenged in recent years in light of the plasticity of other sensory systems, particularly …

In this target article we question the assumption that perception is divided into separate
domains of vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. We review implications of this …

This chapter presents a comprehensive hypothesis relating to the function of the claustrum
derived from the original Crick-Koch hypothesis. We suggest that it is concerned with …

Congenital auditory deprivation (deafness) leads to a dysfunctional intrinsic cortical
microcircuitry. This chapter reviews these deficits with a particular emphasis on layer …

Increasing evidence points to the importance of intrinsic molecular cues in specifying the
regional identity of mammalian neocortex. Few such cues, however, have been found to be …

Three complementary approaches demonstrate new types of organization in rodent, feline
and primate auditory cortex, as well as differences in processing between auditory and …

Analysis of corpus callosum fiber composition reveals that inter-hemispheric transmission
time may put constraints on the development of inter-hemispheric synchronic ensembles …
