The mammalian frontal and auditory cortices are important for vocal behavior. Here, using
local-field potential recordings, we demonstrate that the timing and spatial patterns of …

Distinguishing between regular and irregular heartbeats, conversing with speakers of
different accents, and tuning a guitar—all rely on some form of auditory learning. What drives …

Top-down visual attention is a fundamental cognitive process that allows individuals to
selectively attend to salient visual stimuli in the environment. Recent empirical findings have …

Merging information across sensory modalities is key to forming robust percepts, yet how the
brain achieves this feat remains unclear. Recent studies report cross-modal influences in the …

Using computerized reaction-time tasks assessing automatic attitudes, studies have shown
that healthy young adults have faster reaction times when approaching physical activity …

The activity of neurons in sensory areas sometimes covaries with upcoming choices in
decision-making tasks. However, the prevalence, causal origin, and functional role of choice …

Field potentials (FPs) reflect neuronal activities in the brain, and often exhibit traveling peaks
across recording sites. While traveling FPs are interpreted as propagation of neuronal …

Harmful environmental sounds are a prevailing source of chronic hearing impairments,
including noise induced hearing loss, hyperacusis, or tinnitus. How these symptoms are …

In the adult vertebrate brain, enzymatic removal of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is
increasingly recognized to promote learning, memory recall, and restorative plasticity. The …

In everyday behavior, sensory systems are in constant competition for attentional resources,
but the cellular and circuit-level mechanisms of modality-selective attention remain largely …
