Visual motion processing recruits regions selective for auditory motion in early deaf individuals
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]
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

Can you hear me now? A comparative survey of pinniped auditory apparatus morphology
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]
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]
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.

Studies on the ontogeny of Streptopelia senegalensis aegyptiaca (Latham, 1790)
The lordosis of the basal plate, previously observed in the younger stages, is no more evident. The anterior enlargement of the basicranial fenestra has restricted the acrochordal cartilage.

Auditory aura from the hippocampus – Not all that ‘rings’ is neocortical temporal lobe epilepsy
Epileptic auras provide the initial clues to identify the probable region of ictal onset. In temporal lobe epilepsies, auras are most commonly experiential or viscerosensory, when they arise from mesial structures.

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 ...

Partial inactivation of songbird auditory cortex impairs both tempo and pitch discrimination
Neuronal tuning for spectral and temporal features has been studied extensively in the auditory system. In the auditory cortex, diverse combinations of spectral and temporal tuning have been found, but how specific feature tuning contributes to the ...

Speech perception requires that sounds be transformed into speech-related objects with lexical and semantic meaning. It is unclear at what level in the auditory pathways this transformation emerges.
