When we are engaged in a task, our brain's auditory system changes how it works. One of the main auditory centers of the brain, the auditory cortex, is filled with neural activity that is not ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...

Xiaojing Tang et al. at Chongqing Institute for Brain and Intelligence recently published a study in Science Bulletin titled “Parvalbumin Interneurons Are Essential for Tonotopy Strength in the ...

Changes in the brain networks responsible for identity, self-awareness, and the residual self help explain how chronic ...

The auditory cortex processes sound through a hierarchical and parallel architecture, transforming raw acoustic input into perceptual and linguistic representations. Primary auditory areas exhibit ...

Children with DFNB9 deafness receiving gene therapy in either one ear or both ears exhibited enhanced activation in parts of the auditory speech cortex, which occurred as early as four weeks after ...

Nestled in dark burrows, with a limited sense of vision, mice brush their whiskers against their environment to navigate and to detect objects around them. This behavior, termed whisking, has been ...

New research reveals that prolonged stress alters brain function, reducing sensitivity to sound over time. This study uncovers how the brain adapts to chronic stress, prioritizing other senses while ...

Adults who stutter experience differences in how their brains process sound, and these sensory differences tend to overlap ...

Hearing imaginary voices is a common but mysterious feature of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Up to 80 percent of people with these conditions experience auditory hallucinations, hearing speech or ...
