Stable representation of sounds in the posterior striatum during flexible auditory decisions
Nature Communications, 2018 Striatum mediates goal-oriented behaviors and habitual actions. This study shows that auditory information is represented by neuronal activity of the posterior tail of the dorsal striatum in mice, and that this brain region mediates rodent’s flexible ...

Perceptual bistability in auditory streaming: how much do stimulus features matter? [PDF]
, 2013 The auditory two-tone streaming paradigm has been used extensively to study the mechanisms that underlie the decomposition of the auditory input into coherent sound sequences.

Exploring the role of task performance and learning style on prefrontal hemodynamics during a working memory task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Existing literature outlines the quality and location of activation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during working memory (WM) tasks. However, the effects of individual differences on the underlying neural process of WM tasks are still unclear.

Learning to detect a tone in unpredictable noise [PDF]
, 2014 Eight normal-hearing listeners practiced a tone-detection task in which a 1-kHz target was masked by a spectrally unpredictable multitone complex. Consistent learning was observed, with mean masking decreasing by 6.4 dB over five sessions (4500 trials ...

Nature Neuroscience, 2018 In higher sensory cortices, there is a gradual transformation from sensation to perception and action. In the auditory system, this transformation is revealed by responses in the rostral ventral posterior auditory field (VPr), a tertiary area in the ...

Multisensory Integration Sites Identified by Perception of Spatial Wavelet Filtered Visual Speech Gesture Information [PDF]
, 2004 Perception of speech is improved when presentation of the audio signal is accompanied by concordant visual speech gesture information. This enhancement is most prevalent when the audio signal is degraded.

Stereological Assessments of Neuronal Pathology in Auditory Cortex in Schizophrenia
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 It has long been known that auditory processing is disrupted in schizophrenia. More recently, postmortem studies have provided direct evidence that morphological alterations to neurons in auditory cortex are implicated in the pathophysiology of this ...

The alpha1 subunit of the GABA(A) receptor modulates fear learning and plasticity in the lateral amygdala. [PDF]
, 2009 Synaptic plasticity in the amygdala is essential for emotional learning. Fear conditioning, for example, depends on changes in excitatory transmission that occur following NMDA receptor activation and AMPA receptor modification in this region.

Review: Do the Different Sensory Areas within the Cat Anterior Ectosylvian Sulcal Cortex Collectively Represent a Network Multisensory Hub? [PDF]
, 2018 Current theory supports that the numerous functional areas of the cerebral cortex are organized and function as a network. Using connectional databases and computational approaches, the cerebral network has been demonstrated to exhibit a hierarchical ...
