Long-range coupling of prefrontal cortex and visual (MT) or polysensory (STP) cortical areas in motion perception [PDF]
To investigate how, where and when moving auditory cues interact with the perception of object-motion during self-motion, we conducted psychophysical, MEG, and fMRI experiments in which the subjects viewed nine textured objects during simulated ...

Auditory perception modulated by word reading [PDF]
Theories of embodied cognition positing that sensorimotor areas are indispensable during language comprehension are supported by neuroimaging and behavioural studies.

Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force established the TASK3 working groups to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

Heschl's gyrus is more sensitive to tone level than non-primary auditory cortex [PDF]
Previous neuroimaging studies generally demonstrate a growth in the cortical response with an increase in sound level. However, the details of the shape and topographic location of such growth remain largely unknown.

The Auditory Cortex in Schizophrenia [PDF]
Sweet et al have recently shown that the somal volume of pyramidal cells is reduced in layer 3 of the auditory cortex in schizophrenic patients (Sweet et al 2004; Sweet et al 2003). In this issue of Biological Psychiatry, they report new data showing that the density of axon terminals is also significantly decreased in the same layer (Sweet et al 2006).

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

Suppressing sensorimotor activity modulates the discrimination of auditory emotions but not speaker identity [PDF]
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.

Extensive Tonotopic Mapping across Auditory Cortex Is recapitulated by spectrally directed attention and systematically related to Cortical Myeloarchitecture [PDF]
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.

Binary Spiking in Auditory Cortex [PDF]
Neurons are often assumed to operate in a highly unreliable manner: a neuron can signal the same stimulus with a variable number of action potentials. However, much of the experimental evidence supporting this view was obtained in the visual cortex. We have, therefore, assessed trial-to-trial variability in the auditory cortex of the rat.

Inhibition in the Human Auditory Cortex
Despite their indispensable roles in sensory processing, little is known about inhibitory interneurons in humans. Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials cannot be recorded non-invasively, at least in a pure form, in humans. We herein sought to clarify whether prepulse inhibition (PPI) in the auditory cortex reflected inhibition via interneurons using ...
