  1. Speech comprehension is thought to depend on #auditory and #motor interactions via brain rhythms. This study links theta frequencies in the STG and motor rhythms to stronger #speech tracking, the latter among those with high auditory-motor synchronization.

  3. How does the #brain maintain stable sound representations sound despite variable background noise? This study by Omedas & Williamson identifies a functional division across #auditory cortex layers, linking noise-invariance to deep-layer pathways.

  5. How does the #brain switch #attention between competing speakers in a #CocktailParty? This study shows that neural tracking of a new speaker emerges before disengagement, with transient dual encoding & reduced alpha power supporting flexible #auditory attention @PLOSBiology plos.io/3RCq9sy

  7. Analysis of #acoustic #rhythms across nearly 100 species reveals a conserved slow tempo centered around 2.7 Hz, within the delta range, suggesting a constraint rooted in conserved #neural mechanisms of #auditory perception @PLOSBiology plos.io/4ejLRcl

    🧠Another Interesting study using functional #ultrasound #imaging ( #fUSI) in behaving #ferrets: Boucher, Shamma & Boubenec show that #PremotorCortex activity during #auditory decisions reflects the animal’s internal perceptual category more than the overt motor response itself.

  11. 🐭🎶 New paper by Isko et al, who study #Alston’s singing mouse, a rodent with loud, stereotyped songs.

    Using bulk tracing, serial #2P #tomography, & #MAPseq of >76,000 barcoded neurons, they find expanded projections from #orofacial #MotorCortex to #auditory #cortex & #PAG. This suggests that singing / #Vocalization may emerge not from entirely new circuits, but from selective strengthening of existing motor, auditory & vocal-control pathways.

  13. The medial geniculate body #MGB in the #auditory #thalamus is a key early node in sound processing. @neimarkgeffen @labhaas &co show in mice that two inhibitory neuron types have distinct connectivity & effects on sound processing @PLOSBiology plos.io/47twOtM

  15. This study in marmosets shows that task engagement facilitates #auditory neuronal responses both within & beyond their receptive fields, reallocating limited #neural resources to the most informative locations @PLOSBiology plos.io/4sOqjds

  17. Unique among the senses, the ear expends energy to amplify the stimuli that it detects. New research shows that a segment of mammalian cochlea ex vivo displays features of this active process—amplification, frequency tuning, compressive nonlinearity & generation of distortion products—operating locally & near criticality at a Hopf bifurcation—a unified biophysical principle that underlies auditory processing across species. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2503

  21. Brainwave study sheds light on cause of ‘hearing voices’

    A new study led by psychologists from #UNSW Sydney has provided the strongest evidence yet that #auditory verbal #hallucinations – or hearing voices – in #schizophrenia may stem from a disruption in the #brain’s ability to recognise its own inner voice.

  23. How does attention shape #AuditoryProcessing? This study shows that #attention enhances sound encoding only at the cortical level, not in #auditory periphery or #brainstem, so humans’ ability to focus on a single voice in noise relies on cortical mechanisms @PLOSBiology plos.io/4pY5L1f
