The Auditory Cortex in Schizophrenia [PDF]
Biological Psychiatry, 2007 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]
, 2010 In this study, we investigated brain mechanisms for the generation of subjective experience from objective sensory inputs. Our experimental construct was subjective tranquility.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Auditory attention activates peripheral visual cortex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BackgroundRecent neuroimaging studies have revealed that putatively unimodal regions of visual cortex can be activated during auditory tasks in sighted as well as in blind subjects.

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 ...
