Development of Auditory Cortex Circuits

Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 2021
The ability to process and perceive sensory stimuli is an essential function for animals. Among the sensory modalities, audition is crucial for communication, pleasure, care for the young, and perceiving threats. The auditory cortex (ACtx) is a key sound processing region that combines ascending signals from the auditory periphery and inputs from other

The asymmetric auditory cortex

Nature Human Behaviour, 2019
Which side of the brain does what in speech and language processing is a debate that has engaged and divided the neuroscientific community for more than a century. A new study by Flinker et al. provides a more nuanced interpretation of how the left and right hemispheres of the brain process acoustic information important for speech processing.

Anatomical Organization of the Auditory Cortex

Journal of the American Academy of Audiology, 2008
The identification of areas that contribute to auditory processing in the human cerebral cortex has been the subject of sporadic investigation for more than one century. Several anatomical schemas have been advanced, but a standard model has not been adopted by researchers in the field.

Auditory-visual integration in fields of the auditory cortex

Hearing Research, 2017
While multimodal interactions have been known to exist in the early sensory cortices, the response properties and spatiotemporal organization of these interactions are poorly understood. To elucidate the characteristics of multimodal sensory interactions in the cerebral cortex, neuronal responses to visual stimuli with or without auditory stimuli were ...

Magnetoencephalography for research of auditory cortex

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2008
The results could indicate that, during phylogeny and human ontogeny, the central nervous system has enhanced the speech activity from any other activity even though other frequencies could be relevant for survival.People of all ages can experience alterations of auditory perception that progressively increase with aging.

‘Primitive intelligence’ in the auditory cortex

Trends in Neurosciences, 2001
The everyday auditory environment consists of multiple simultaneously active sources with overlapping temporal and spectral acoustic properties. Despite the seemingly chaotic composite signal impinging on our ears, the resulting perception is of an orderly "auditory scene" that is organized according to sources and auditory events, allowing us to ...

Representation of loudness in the auditory cortex

2015
Changes in stimulus intensity are reflected in changes in the fundamental perceptual attribute of loudness. Stimulus intensity changes also profoundly impact the evoked neural responses throughout the auditory system. A fundamental question is how measurements of neural activity, from the single-neuron level to mass-activity metrics such as functional ...

Auditory cortex stimulation for tinnitus

2007
Functional imaging techniques have demonstrated a relationship between the intensity of tinnitus and the degree of reorganization of the primary auditory cortex. Studies in experimental animals and humans have revealed that tinnitus is associated with a synchronized hyperactivity in the auditory cortex and proposed that the underlying ...

Hemodynamic imaging of the auditory cortex

2015
Over the past 20 years or so, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has proven to be an influential tool for measuring perceptual and cognitive processing non-invasively in the human brain. This article provides a brief yet comprehensive overview of this dominant method for human auditory neuroscience, providing the reader with knowledge about ...
