New research by a Lithuanian neuroscientist Dr Karolina Armonaitė, reveals that the brain remains actively engaged even during rest and sleep, with different cortical areas showing distinct electrical ...

We typically imagine echolocation as “seeing” with sound—experiencing auditory signals as a world of images like the ones our ...

Traditionally, higher association areas in the temporal, frontal, and parietal lobes were thought to be pivotal for merging visual and auditory signals. However, recent research suggests that even ...

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 ...

Abstract The spatial scale of somatostatin subnetworks increases from sensory to association cortex Highlights In vivo imaging of somatostatin inhibitory neurons in auditory and parietal cortices SOM ...

Auditory cortex is essential for information encoding and maintenance in auditory working memory, especially during the early delay period.

Previous studies on the mouse primary auditory cortex (A1) showed that neurons with preferential frequency-tuning responses are mixed within local cortical regions, despite a large-scale tonotopic ...

The modern data describing a partitioning of mammalian auditory cortex into subfields are presented. A detailed observation of the structural organization of primary auditory cortex is given, as well ...

Conversely, auditory association cortex showed stronger adaptation for complex sounds, including speech. This first report of multi-regional adaptation in human auditory cortex highlights the role of ...

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.
