Sensory neuroscience: Visualizing the auditory cortex
Recent studies suggest that the auditory cortex may use sensory processing strategies analogous to those already established for the visual cortex. Nevertheless, fundamental differences in the way the visual and auditory worlds are structured have to be borne in mind.
متن کاملAuditory Neuroscience: Activating the Cortex without Sound
Sensory brain areas are usually characterized by their responses to external stimuli; however, neuroimaging studies have now shown that activation of auditory cortex occurs spontaneously and can be induced during silence by stimulus expectancy or mental imagery.
متن کاملSensory Neuroscience: From Skin to Object in the Somatosensory Cortex
Humans can perceive the shape of objects by touch alone, by extracting geometric features such as edges. Recently recorded responses of single neurons in the secondary somatosensory cortex of monkeys suggest how the brain integrates tactile shape information across different regions of skin and builds up a representation of tactile objects.
متن کاملAge effects on auditory sensory memory: a cognitive neuroscience perspective
It is well established that there are changes in cognition and in peripheral sensory mechanisms that occur with age. However, there is much less known about the cause of either change or indeed the relationship between age-related change in sensory processing and age-associated cognitive decline. Understanding these mechanisms could improve our capacity to devise strategies which could assist o...
متن کاملSensory Neuroscience: Taste Responses in Primary Olfactory Cortex
A new electrophysiological study in rodents demonstrates that taste-odor convergence occurs in posterior piriform olfactory cortex and calls for a reformulation of classic models of the central representation of flavor.
