Background: The auditory cortex plays a key role...

..., the possible relationship between hearing and Bcl-2 expression in the cochlea or auditory cortex of C57BL/6 mice, a mouse model of age-related hearing loss, is still unknown. Using RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis, our results show that Bcl-2 is strongly expressed in the inner hair cells...

... correlate has been futile so far, probably because the search was confined to more peripheral levels of the auditory system (inferior colliculus). A neuromagnetic study was performed in normal-hearing subjects in order to look for a neurophysiological correlate of the ZT in the auditory cortex...

...Bernd Lütkenhöner In several previous studies, the deflection N100m of the auditory evoked field (AEF), occurring about 100 ms after the onset of a sound, has been used to investigate whether complex tones are represented in the auditory cortex by their spectrum or their periodicity pitch. However...

Nevertheless, PET has considerable potential as a tool in basic research on, and clinical assessment of, many auditory phenomena. Although functional magnetic resonance imaging can now be used for many studies for which...

Using...

... layers of the primary auditory cortex, spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal variations in intracortical stimulation all lead to perceptual differences as evidenced by discrimination training. For some stimulus regimes discrimination learning was as fast as with intracochlear stimulation in this animal...

This suggests that temporal aspects of single-unit population activity are likely not inclusive enough for representation of categorical perception boundaries...
