auditory cortex

Researchers have been using ultrasound to control brain activity, but studies in mice and guinea pigs show it also stimulates the auditory system, presenting a confounder for direct neural stimulation.

Researchers create a program that can use fMRI data to identify which musical pieces are in participants' heads.  

The cells are crucial to detecting emphasis, sarcasm, and uptalk in human conversation.

Huge areas of the brain respond to any sort of auditory stimulus, making it difficult for scientists to nail down regions that are important for music processing.

Analyzing the acoustical qualities of screams and other sounds, researchers pinpoint why people find screams—and emergency vehicle sirens—frightening.

The hormone activates neurons that trigger female mice to respond to the distress calls of lost pups.

Neuroscientist Anthony Zador explains why he uses rats to understand auditory attention in the brain.

Researchers use comparative neuroimaging to study the dog’s auditory cortex.

Hearing improves in mice deprived of visual stimulus for a week, according to a study.

By recording nerve impulses in sound-processing regions of the brain, researchers can recreate the words people think.
