Acoustic processing requires integration over time. We have used in vivo intracellular recording to measure neuronal integration times in anesthetized rats....

The vast majority of investigations on central auditory processing so far were conducted under the influence of an anesthetic agent. It remains unclear,...

Descending cortical inputs to the superior colliculus (SC) contribute to the unisensory response properties of the neurons found there and are critical for m...

Over the past 15 years, we have studied plasticity in the human auditory cortex by means of magnetoencephalography (MEG). Two main topics nurtured our...

Vocal communication involves both speaking and hearing, often taking place concurrently. Vocal production, including human speech and animal vocalization,...

Multi-unit electrophysiological mapping was used to establish the area of the left- and right-hemisphere auditory cortex (AC) of the mouse and to characterize...

Multi-unit (MU) activity and local field potentials (LFP) were simultaneously recorded from 161 sites in the middle cortical layers of the primary auditory...

Cortical sensory processing is modulated by behavioral and cognitive states. How this modulation is achieved by changing synaptic circuits remains largely...

In the auditory cortex, brief sounds elicit a powerful suppression of responsiveness that can persist for hundreds of milliseconds. This forward suppression...
