Inactivation experiments in auditory cortex (AC) produce widely varying results that
complicate interpretations regarding the precise role of AC in auditory perception and …

How and where in the brain audio-visual signals are bound to create multimodal objects
remains unknown. One hypothesis is that temporal coherence between dynamic …

In this brief review, we will highlight the ferret Mustela putorius furo as an increasingly
utilized animal model for sensory systems and cognitive neuroscience research. In …

A key function of the brain is to provide a stable representation of an object's location in the
world. In hearing, sound azimuth and elevation are encoded by neurons throughout the …

Perceptual constancy requires neural representations that are selective for object identity,
but also tolerant across identity-preserving transformations. How such representations arise …

Auditory cortex is required for sound localisation, but how neural firing in auditory cortex
underlies our perception of sound sources in space remains unclear. Specifically, whether …

Temporal processing is crucial for auditory perception and cognition, especially for
communication sounds. Previous studies have shown that the auditory cortex and the …

Cortical feedback has long been considered crucial for the modulation of sensory perception
and recognition. However, previous studies have shown varying modulatory effects of the …

A key question in auditory neuroscience is to what extent are brain regions functionally
specialized for processing specific sound features, such as location and identity. In auditory …

The compromised abilities to understand speech and localize sounds are two hallmark
deficits in aged individuals. Earlier studies have shown that age-related deficits in cortical …
