The neocortex is the largest part of the cerebral cortex and a key structure involved in human
behavior and cognition. Comparison of neocortex development across mammals reveals …

Neural computations are currently investigated using two separate approaches: sorting
neurons into functional subpopulations or examining the low-dimensional dynamics of …

There is a lack of consensus on anatomical nomenclature, standards of documentation, and
functional equivalence of the frontal cortex between species. There remains a major gap …

The mouse auditory cortex (ACtx) contains two core fields—primary auditory cortex (A1) and
anterior auditory field (AAF)—arranged in a mirror reversal tonotopic gradient. The best …

In the neocortex, each sensory modality engages distinct sensory areas that route
information to association areas. Where signal flow converges for maintaining information in …

The relative importance or saliency of sensory inputs depend on the animal's environmental
context and the behavioural responses to these same inputs can vary over time. Here we …

Early in auditory processing, neural responses faithfully reflect acoustic input. At higher
stages of auditory processing, however, neurons become selective for particular call types …

Categorical perception is a fundamental cognitive function enabling animals to flexibly
assign sounds into behaviorally relevant categories. This study investigates the nature of …

Perceptual segregation of complex sounds such as speech and music simultaneously
emanating from multiple sources is a remarkable ability that is common in humans and other …

The mammalian brain is connected to the ear through corticofugal pathways. These neural
circuits link non-auditory regions of the cerebral cortex like frontal and visual areas with the …
