The role of auditory cortex in the formation of auditory streamsChristophe Micheyl
Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, MN, USA
Hear Res 229:116-31. 2007..Overall, the findings concur to demonstrate that many important features of sequential streaming can be explained relatively simply based on neural responses in the auditory cortex...
Cortical plasticity and musicJ P Rauschecker
Georgetown Institute for Cognitive and Computational Sciences, Georgetown University Medical Center, New Research Building, Room WP15, 3970 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, DC 20007 2197, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 930:330-6. 2001..Imagery and anticipation of music also lead to activation of the auditory (and frontal) cortex. It is conceivable, therefore, that even with mental practice alone we can sharpen our musical representations in the cerebral cortex...

Tuning out the noise: limbic-auditory interactions in tinnitusJosef P Rauschecker
Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20057 1460, USA
Neuron 66:819-26. 2010..If the limbic regions are compromised, this "noise-cancellation" mechanism breaks down, and chronic tinnitus results. Hopefully, this model will ultimately enable the development of effective treatment...
Maps and streams in the auditory cortex: nonhuman primates illuminate human speech processingJosef P Rauschecker
Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA

Neural encoding and retrieval of sound sequencesJosef P Rauschecker
Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition, Georgetown University Medical Center, New Research Building, Room WP15, Box 571460, Washington, DC 20057 1460, USA
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1060:125-35. 2005..However, the higher auditory and prefrontal areas found to be activated by musical melodies are expected to interact with primary areas in both bottom-up and top-down fashion to bring about the perceptual organization of sound sequences...
Brain activation during anticipation of sound sequencesAmber M Leaver
Laboratory of Integrative Neuroscience and Cognition, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20057, USA
J Neurosci 29:2477-85. 2009..Our findings regarding musical anticipation and sound sequence learning are highly compatible with studies of motor sequence learning, suggesting common predictive mechanisms in both domains...
Preserved functional specialization for spatial processing in the middle occipital gyrus of the early blindLaurent A Renier
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20007, USA
Neuron 68:138-48. 2010..Thus, although the sensory modalities driving the neurons in the reorganized OC of blind individuals are altered, the functional specialization of extrastriate cortex is retained regardless of visual experience...
Functional specialization of medial auditory belt cortex in the alert rhesus monkeyPawel Kusmierek
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University, NRB WP23, 3970 Reservoir Rd NW, Washington, DC, USA
J Neurophysiol 102:1606-22. 2009..The anteroposterior difference in temporal processing indices suggests that R and RM may belong to a different hierarchical level or a different computational network than A1 and MM...
Cortical representation of natural complex sounds: effects of acoustic features and auditory object categoryAmber M Leaver
Department of Physiology and Biophysics, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC 20057, USA
J Neurosci 30:7604-12. 2010..Our results support a hierarchical organization of the anteroventral auditory-processing stream, with the most anterior regions representing the complete acoustic signature of auditory objects...
