The human auditory cortex transforms acoustic input into coherent percepts through a hierarchical network spanning primary, belt and parabelt regions. Early stages in primary auditory cortex are ...

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 of ...

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...

For decades, neuroscientists have thought about communication between the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia in a fairly linear way. The cortex sends information into the basal ganglia, where that ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

New research shows that large flat cranial windows mechanically compress the curved mouse auditory cortex, distorting ...

A cross-species study in PLOS Biology shows that click trains with identical mean rates but different millisecond-scale ...

Long before a baby's ears are functional, the brain is already building the circuitry needed for hearing, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. Published in the journal Science ...
