The auditory cortex, once thought to be a passive detector, is now caught in the act of reshaping the frequency sensitivity of its neurons to intercept target sounds that are significant for a ...

Converging findings from various experimental approaches show that the primary auditory cortex is directly implicated in the storage of specific information about auditory experiences.

When deaf people were asked to interpret visual rhythms (represented by a flashing light), the same auditory processing regions used to listen to rhythms were activated.

Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind ...

Stimulating a specific part of the auditory cortex immediately improved speech perception over background noise in an epilepsy patient, according to new research in JNeurosci.

The neural architecture in the auditory cortex -- the part of the brain that processes sound -- of profoundly deaf and hearing people is virtually identical, a new study has found.

Two lateral striatal subregions integrate the acquisition of stimulus-based decision-making in spatiotemporally and functionally different manners, challenging the prior model through a dominance ...

The early visual cortex hasn't previously been known to process auditory information, and while there is some anatomical evidence of interconnectedness in monkeys, our study is the first to ...

The researchers set out to determine whether somatostatin neurons play similar or different roles in the auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds, and the posterior parietal ...
