Corticofugal modulation of peripheral auditory responses
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015 The auditory efferent system originates in the auditory cortex and projects to the medial geniculate body, inferior colliculus, cochlear nucleus and superior olivary complex reaching the cochlea through olivocochlear fibers.

An fMRI Study of Audiovisual Speech Perception Reveals Multisensory Interactions in Auditory Cortex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Research on the neural basis of speech-reading implicates a network of auditory language regions involving inferior frontal cortex, premotor cortex and sites along superior temporal cortex.

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.

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2010 We evaluated to what extent the influence of eye position in the auditory pathway of primates can be described as a gain field. We compared single unit activity in the inferior colliculus (IC), core auditory cortex (A1) and the caudomedial belt (CM ...

Speaker Normalization Using Cortical Strip Maps: A Neural Model for Steady State Vowel Identification [PDF]
, 2007 Auditory signals of speech are speaker-dependent, but representations of language meaning are speaker-independent. Such a transformation enables speech to be understood from different speakers.

Modulation of auditory responses by modality-specific attention in rat primary auditory cortex [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.

Global timing: a conceptual framework to investigate the neural basis of rhythm perception in humans and non-human species [PDF]
, 2014 Timing cues are an essential feature of music. To understand how the brain gives rise to our experience of music we must appreciate how acoustical temporal patterns are integrated over the range of several seconds in order to extract global timing.

Functional maps of human auditory cortex: effects of acoustic features and attention. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 While human auditory cortex is known to contain tonotopically organized auditory cortical fields (ACFs), little is known about how processing in these fields is modulated by other acoustic features or by attention.We used functional magnetic resonance ...

Temporal selectivity declines in the aging human auditory cortex
eLife, 2020 Current models successfully describe the auditory cortical response to natural sounds with a set of spectro-temporal features. However, these models have hardly been linked to the ill-understood neurobiological changes that occur in the aging auditory ...

Maps of the Auditory Cortex [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2016 One of the fundamental properties of the mammalian brain is that sensory regions of cortex are formed of multiple, functionally specialized cortical field maps (CFMs). Each CFM comprises two orthogonal topographical representations, reflecting two essential aspects of sensory space.
