Response of the primary auditory and non-auditory cortices to acoustic stimulation: a manganese-enhanced MRI study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Structural and functional features of various cerebral cortices have been extensively explored in neuroscience research. We used manganese-enhanced MRI, a non-invasive method for examining stimulus-dependent activity in the whole brain, to investigate ...

Cell Reports, 2022 Summary: For survival, animals encode prominent events in complex environments, which modulates their defense behavior. Here, we design a paradigm that assesses how a mild aversive cue (i.e., mild air puff) interacts with sound-evoked flight behavior in ...

An Effect of Bilingualism on the Auditory Cortex [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 Two studies (Golestani et al., 2007; Wong et al., 2008) have reported a positive correlation between the ability to perceive foreign speech sounds and the volume of Heschl's gyrus (HG), the structure that houses the auditory cortex. More precisely, participants with larger left Heschl's gyri learned consonantal or tonal contrasts faster than those with

Auditory cortex basal activity modulates cochlear responses in chinchillas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 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 ...

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021 The auditory cortex sends massive projections to the inferior colliculus, but the organization of this pathway is not yet well understood. Previous work has shown that the corticocollicular projection emanates from both layers 5 and 6 of the auditory ...

The harmonic organization of auditory cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010 A fundamental structure of sounds encountered in the natural environment is the harmonicity. Harmonicity is an essential component of music found in all cultures. It is also a unique feature of vocal communication sounds such as human speech and animal vocalizations. Harmonics in sounds are produced by a variety of acoustic generators and reflectors in

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.

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.

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.

Seeing is believing: neural representations of visual stimuli in human auditory cortex correlate with illusory auditory perceptions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In interpersonal communication, the listener can often see as well as hear the speaker. Visual stimuli can subtly change a listener's auditory perception, as in the McGurk illusion, in which perception of a phoneme's auditory identity is changed by a ...
