Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral ...

A new study shows that the cerebral cortex predicts the future by detecting novel stimuli and forming short-term memory ...

Explore the science behind musical earworms, those persistent songs stuck in your head, and learn how to manage them.

Stress doesn’t just affect emotions — it changes how we perceive the world. A study found that mice exposed to a week of ...

For example, the intensity of surrounding sounds or odors may appear stronger to an individual experiencing stress. In the ...

Animals, including humans, rely on multiple senses to navigate their environments and make decisions. This integration of sensory information is particularly evident during social interactions, where ...

[10] Intriguingly, the results revealed a significant correlation between individual differences in hearing ability and gray matter volume in the auditory cortex, such that people with poorer ...

In the quest for optimal auditory and cognitive health, many are turning to innovative supplements like ZenCortex. As we ...

The illustration represents how sounds are encoded in the cerebral cortex, with neurons (at right) using "echoing" activity to track auditory stimuli to change and improve the brain's predictions of ...
