Speech sound categorization: The contribution of non-auditory and auditory cortical regions [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2021 AbstractWhich processes in the human brain lead to the categorical perception of speech sounds? Investigation of this question is hampered by the fact that categorical speech perception is normally confounded by acoustic differences in the stimulus.

Auditory hallucinations activate language and verbal short-term memory, but not auditory, brain regions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractAuditory verbal hallucinations (AVH, ‘hearing voices’) are an important symptom of schizophrenia but their biological basis is not well understood. One longstanding approach proposes that they are perceptual in nature, specifically that they reflect spontaneous abnormal neuronal activity in the auditory cortex, perhaps with additional ‘top down’

Visual motion processing recruits regions selective for auditory motion in early deaf individuals
NeuroImage, 2021 In early deaf individuals, the auditory deprived temporal brain regions become engaged in visual processing. In our study we tested further the hypothesis that intrinsic functional specialization guides the expression of cross-modal responses in the ...

Tinnitus alters resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) in human auditory and non-auditory brain regions as measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Tinnitus, or phantom sound perception, leads to increased spontaneous neural firing rates and enhanced synchrony in central auditory circuits in animal models. These putative physiologic correlates of tinnitus to date have not been well translated in the

Multiple non-auditory cortical regions innervate the auditory midbrain [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 ABSTRACTOur perceptual experience of sound depends on the integration of multiple sensory and cognitive domains, but the networks sub-serving this integration are unclear. There are connections linking different cortical domains, however we do not know if there are also connections between multiple cortical domains and subcortical structures ...

Can you hear me now? A comparative survey of pinniped auditory apparatus morphology
Zoodiversity, 2021 Over the past century research on the morphology of the auditory apparatuses of pinnipeds, which include Phocidae (true seals), Otariidae (sea lions and fur seals), and Odobenidae (walruses) is extremely limited, in comparison to other Carnivora ...

Impairment of auditory-motor timing and compensatory reorganization after ventral premotor cortex stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Integrating auditory and motor information often requires precise timing as in speech and music. In humans, the position of the ventral premotor cortex (PMv) in the dorsal auditory stream renders this area a node for auditory-motor integration.

The tracking of speech envelope in the human cortex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Humans are highly adept at processing speech. Recently, it has been shown that slow temporal information in speech (i.e., the envelope of speech) is critical for speech comprehension.

Multi-Regional Adaptation in Human Auditory Association Cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 In auditory cortex, neural responses decrease with stimulus repetition, known as adaptation. Adaptation is thought to facilitate detection of novel sounds and improve perception in noisy environments. Although it is well established that adaptation occurs in primary auditory cortex, it is not known whether adaptation also occurs in higher auditory ...

Periodicity and frequency coding in human auditory cortex [PDF]
, 2006 Understanding the neural coding of pitch and frequency is fundamental to the understanding of speech comprehension, music perception and the segregation of concurrent sound sources. Neuroimaging has made important contributions to defining the pattern of
