In daily life, we constantly process visual (sight) and auditory (sound ... When the mice were moving, M2 sent inhibitory signals to the auditory cortex, blocking auditory signals from reaching ...

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery?

This study provides valuable insights into how auditory stimuli influence the temporal dynamics of visual perception by modulating brain rhythms (oscillations) in the alpha band. The authors present ...

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 ...

People with aphantasia—individuals who report experiencing no visual imagery at all—also showed reduced activation of the ...

A new study shows that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method, can influence how quickly and flexibly people make decisions.

A new study from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) has found that a simple, non-invasive method of brain ...

These visual areas comprise 50% of the total macaque cerebral cortex, whereas only 3% of the macaque cerebral cortex is devoted primarily to auditory functions. Many non-primate mammals have ...

This is important because it invites the scientific community to speculate that the long-range parvalbumin-expressing projects could play a role through gamma oscillation synchronization between the ...
