Neural Mechanisms of Selective Auditory Attention in Rats (Dissertation) [PDF]
, 2008 How does attention modulate sensory representations? In order to probe the underlying neural mechanisms, we established a simple rodent model of modality-specific attention.

Relationships between human auditory cortical structure and function [PDF]
, 2003 The human auditory cortex comprises multiple areas, largely distributed across the supratemporal plane, but the precise number and configuration of auditory areas and their functional significance have not yet been clearly established.

Differential rates of perinatal maturation of human primary and nonprimary auditory cortex [PDF]
, 2018 Primary and nonprimary cerebral cortex mature along different timescales; however, the differences between the rates of maturation of primary and nonprimary cortex are unclear.

Inhibitory Plasticity in Auditory Cortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2009 Arguably the most important property of neuronal circuits in general, and of cortical circuits in particular, is plasticity--the ability to change in response to past experience. While many studies of plasticity emphasize changes in excitatory transmission, in this issue of Neuron, Galindo-Leon et al.

Audiovisual temporal correspondence modulates human multisensory superior temporal sulcus plus primary sensory cortices [PDF]
, 2007 The brain should integrate related but not unrelated information from different senses. Temporal patterning of inputs to different modalities may provide critical information about whether those inputs are related or not.

Reorganization of auditory cortex in tinnitus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 Magnetic source imaging was used to determine whether tonotopy in auditory cortex of individuals with tinnitus diverges from normative functional organization. Ten tinnitus subjects and 15 healthy controls were exposed to four sets of tones while magnetoencephalographic recordings were obtained from the two cortical hemispheres in sequence.

Anatomical pathways for auditory memory II: information from rostral superior temporal gyrus to dorsolateral temporal pole and medial temporal cortex [PDF]
, 2015 Auditory recognition memory in non-human primates differs from recognition memory in other sensory systems. Monkeys learn the rule for visual and tactile delayed matching-to-sample within a few sessions, and then show one-trial recognition memory lasting

The role of auditory cortex in the formation of auditory streams [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2007 Auditory streaming refers to the perceptual parsing of acoustic sequences into "streams", which makes it possible for a listener to follow the sounds from a given source amidst other sounds. Streaming is currently regarded as an important function of the auditory system in both humans and animals, crucial for survival in environments that typically ...

Speaker-normalized sound representations in the human auditory cortex [PDF]
, 2019 The acoustic dimensions that distinguish speech sounds (like the vowel differences in “boot” and “boat”) also differentiate speakers’ voices. Therefore, listeners must normalize across speakers without losing linguistic information.
