Speech sound categorization: The contribution of non-auditory and auditory cortical regions [PDF]
Abstract Which 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]
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’

Multiple non-auditory cortical regions innervate the auditory midbrain [PDF]
ABSTRACT Our 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 ...

Left Posterior Temporal Regions are Sensitive to Auditory Categorization [PDF]
Abstract Recent studies suggest that the left superior temporal gyrus and sulcus (LSTG/S) play a role in speech perception, although the precise function of these areas remains unclear. Here, we test the hypothesis that regions in the LSTG/S play a role in the categorization of speech phonemes, irrespective of the acoustic properties of ...

Interhemispheric EEG coherence is reduced in auditory cortical regions in schizophrenia patients with auditory hallucinations [PDF]
Central auditory processing has been reported to be impaired in schizophrenia patients who experience auditory hallucinations, and interhemispheric transfer in auditory circuits may be compromised. In this study, we used EEG spectral coherence to examine interhemispheric connectivity between cortical areas known to be important in the processing of ...

Multi-Regional Adaptation in Human Auditory Association Cortex [PDF]
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 ...

Sex differences in brain structure in auditory and cingulate regions [PDF]
We applied a new method to visualize the three-dimensional profile of sex differences in brain structure based on MRI scans of 100 young adults. We compared 50 men with 50 women, matched for age and other relevant demographics. As predicted, left hemisphere auditory and language-related regions were proportionally expanded in women versus men ...

Discovery of a lipid synthesising organ in the auditory system of an insect
Weta possess typical Ensifera ears. Each ear comprises three functional parts: two equally sized tympanal membranes, an underlying system of modified tracheal chambers, and the auditory sensory organ, the crista acustica.
