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.

Suppressing sensorimotor activity modulates the discrimination of auditory emotions but not speaker identity [PDF]
, 2010 Our ability to recognize the emotions of others is a crucial feature of human social cognition. Functional neuroimaging studies indicate that activity in sensorimotor cortices is evoked during the perception of emotion.

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.

The state of tranquility: Subjective perception is shaped by contextual modulation of auditory connectivity [PDF]
, 2010 In this study, we investigated brain mechanisms for the generation of subjective experience from objective sensory inputs. Our experimental construct was subjective tranquility.

Extensive Tonotopic Mapping across Auditory Cortex Is recapitulated by spectrally directed attention and systematically related to Cortical Myeloarchitecture [PDF]
, 2017 Auditory selective attention is vital in natural soundscapes. But, it is unclear how attentional focus on the primary dimension of auditory representation - acoustic frequency - might modulate basic auditory functional topography during active listening.

Recent advances in understanding the auditory cortex
F1000Research, 2018 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.

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 ...

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.

PLoS ONE, 2018 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.

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
