Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees ... epithelium are conserved up to and beyond primary sensory cortices, our model implies ...

Multisensory object discrimination is essential in everyday life, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. In this study, we trained rats to perform a two-alternative ...

and 3000 inner hair cells that transduce the mechanical vibrations into neural impulses that reach the primary auditory cortex via the eighth cranial nerve. Most notable in age-related hearing ...
