Since the early days of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), retinotopic map**
emerged as a powerful and widely-accepted tool, allowing the identification of individual …

Tinnitus is the percept of sound that is not related to an acoustic source outside the body. For
many forms of tinnitus, mechanisms in the central nervous system are believed to play an …

The auditory system of monkeys includes a large number of interconnected subcortical
nuclei and cortical areas. At subcortical levels, the structural components of the auditory …

Understanding the functional organization of the human primary auditory cortex (PAC) is an
essential step in elucidating the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of sound …

Background The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying tinnitus perception are not well
understood. Surprisingly, there have been no group studies comparing abnormalities in …

Hearing loss often triggers an inescapable buzz (tinnitus) and causes everyday sounds to
become intolerably loud (hyperacusis), but exactly where and how this occurs in the brain is …

The goal of the present study was to determine whether the architectonic criteria used to
identify the core region in macaque monkeys (Macaca mulatta, M. nemestrina) could be …

Behavioral studies have provided evidence that the processing of a musical target is faster
and more accurate when it is harmonically related to the preceding prime context. We …

The organization of tonotopic fields in human auditory cortex was investigated using
functional magnetic resonance imaging. Subjects were presented with stochastically …

The concept of hierarchical processing—that the sensory world is broken down into basic
features later integrated into more complex stimulus preferences—originated from …
