Listening for the Right Sounds

چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Rodgers and DeWeese (2014) developed a new paradigm in which rats had to select or ignore an auditory stimulus, depending on its context. The authors recorded neurons in primary auditory and medial prefrontal cortex. Surprisingly, they found that stimulus context had the largest effect in the moments before the stimulus was presented.

متن کاملExcitability of Motor Cortices as a Function of Emotional Sounds
We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to clarify how non-verbal emotionally-characterized sounds modulate the excitability of the corticospinal motor tract (CST). While subjects were listening to sounds (monaurally and binaurally), single TMS pulses were delivered to either left or right primary motor cortex (M1), and electromyographic activities were recorded from the contralateral a...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms involved in the oral representation of percussion music: an fMRI study.
Numerous music cultures use nonsense syllables to represent percussive sounds. Covert reciting of these syllable sequences along with percussion music aids active listeners in keeping track of music. Owing to the acoustic dissimilarity between the representative syllables and the referent percussive sounds, associative learning is necessary for the oral representation of percussion music. We us...
