Abstract: Auditory cortex is the first cortical region of the human brain to process sounds. However, it has recently been shown that its neurons also fire in the absence of direct sensory input, ...

Whole-brain analysis revealed an effect of stimulus frequency in two regions: the auditory cortex and the visual cortex. The BOLD response in the auditory cortex was stronger during stimulation at ...

They state that there is “little evidence for circumscribed areas of the auditory cortex being uniquely specialized for processing auditory spatial information….” Furthermore, Belin and ...

The work will be of interest to neurobiologists and to developers of optical approaches for interrogating brain function. Sensory information is represented by small varying neuronal ensembles in ...

The main function of the sensory systems is the transducing of external stimuli into bioelectrical signals, which are conducted through afferent pathways from sensory epithelia to the brain. However .

Kang et al. provide the first experimental insights from holographic stimulation of auditory cortex. Using stimulation of functionally-defined ensembles, they test whether overactivation of a specific ...

What Is Auditory Processing Disorder? Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a hearing problem that affects about 3%–5% of school-aged children. Kids with this condition, also known as central auditory ...
