This important study suggests that adolescent mice exhibit less accuracy than adult mice in a sound discrimination task when the sound frequencies are very similar. While the evidence supporting this ...

Although results are sometimes slightly counterintuitive (both increases and decreases in cortical thickness are related to experience with multilingualism), the important findings strongly point to ...

Figure 1: Response of rat auditory cortex neurons to repeated stimuli. In this study, NB activation was paired with temporally modulated acoustic stimuli to investigate plasticity of the cortical ...

Audiologist and researcher Dr. Julia Campbell shares her insights into the state of misophonia research and how we may get ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes ...

New research uncovers how the brain processes learning by identifying the exact moment an animal learns a new skill.

The secondary motor cortex (M2) acted as a "sensory gatekeeper." When the mice were moving, M2 sent inhibitory signals to the auditory cortex, blocking auditory signals from reaching the PPC.

By performing a separate analysis in the auditory and visual cortices, we expected to see crossmodal suppression in the auditory cortex during selective attention to the visual modality, and vice ...

Birds and music are beautifully intertwined. Birds are renowned for their melodic songs and stunning vocalizations. It makes ...
