Maps of the Auditory Cortex [PDF]
One of the fundamental properties of the mammalian brain is that sensory regions of cortex are formed of multiple, functionally specialized cortical field maps (CFMs). Each CFM comprises two orthogonal topographical representations, reflecting two essential aspects of sensory space.

Representation of Reward Feedback in Primate Auditory Cortex [PDF]
It is well established that auditory cortex is plastic on different time scales and that this plasticity is driven by the reinforcement that is used to motivate subjects to learn or to perform an auditory task.

Tinnitus intensity dependent gamma oscillations of the contralateral auditory cortex. [PDF]
BackgroundNon-pulsatile tinnitus is considered a subjective auditory phantom phenomenon present in 10 to 15% of the population. Tinnitus as a phantom phenomenon is related to hyperactivity and reorganization of the auditory cortex. Magnetoencephalography

Auditory cortex basal activity modulates cochlear responses in chinchillas. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The auditory efferent system has unique neuroanatomical pathways that connect the cerebral cortex with sensory receptor cells. Pyramidal neurons located in layers V and VI of the primary auditory cortex constitute descending projections to ...

Contextual modulation of primary visual cortex by auditory signals [PDF]
Early visual cortex receives non-feedforward input from lateral and top-down connections (Muckli & Petro 2013 Curr. Opin. Neurobiol. 23, 195–201. (doi:10.1016/j.conb.2013.01.020)), including long-range projections from auditory areas.

Functional imaging reveals numerous fields in the monkey auditory cortex. [PDF]
Anatomical studies propose that the primate auditory cortex contains more fields than have actually been functionally confirmed or described. Spatially resolved functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with carefully designed acoustical stimulation ...

Recent advances in understanding the auditory cortex [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
Our ability to make sense of the auditory world results from neural processing that begins in the ear, goes through multiple subcortical areas, and continues in the cortex.

Auditory cortex is important in the extinction of two different tone-based conditioned fear memories in rats [PDF]
Extensive fear extinction research is guided by the view that there are structures in the brain that develop inhibitory control over the expression of conditioned fear memories.

The auditory cortex hosts network nodes influential for emotion processing: An fMRI study on music-evoked fear and joy. [PDF]
Sound is a potent elicitor of emotions. Auditory core, belt and parabelt regions have anatomical connections to a large array of limbic and paralimbic structures which are involved in the generation of affective activity.
