Maps of the Auditory Cortex [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2016One 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]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2011It 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]
PLoS ONE, 2009BackgroundNon-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]
PLoS ONE, 2012BACKGROUND: 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]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017Early 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.

Recent advances in understanding the auditory cortex [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 2018Our 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.

Functional imaging reveals numerous fields in the monkey auditory cortex. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006Anatomical 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 ...

The auditory cortex hosts network nodes influential for emotion processing: An fMRI study on music-evoked fear and joy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018Sound 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.

Auditory cortex is important in the extinction of two different tone-based conditioned fear memories in rats [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010Extensive 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.
