Non-invasive transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) applied over the auditory cortex had a pronounced beneficial effect on those with dyslexia. Read More
People with schizotypal traits exhibited increased structural connectivity probability within the task control network and default mode network. They also had increased variability and decreased stability of functional connectivity within the DMN and between the auditory and subcortical networks. Read More
Auditory hallucinations, a common feature of psychosis and schizophrenia, may be the result of increased connectivity between sensory and language processing areas in the brain. Read More
A new study reports hyper-connectivity between substructures of the thalamus, and the cerebral cortex may be responsible for auditory hallucinations associated with schizophrenia. Read More
Study provides insight into the neural mechanisms of how prey animals use the sounds or actions of others to infer danger and respond defensively. Read More
Studying auditory regions and brain pathways in humans, apes, and monkeys, researchers have identified a language pathway that interconnects the auditory cortex with frontal lobe regions. The language pathway in other primates suggests an evolutionary basis in auditory cognition and vocal communication. Read More
Using Cappella recordings, researchers discover humans have developed complementary neural systems in each hemisphere for auditory stimuli. Read More
When exposed to auditory stimulation, visual areas of the brain decreased in activity. Findings suggest sound can strongly draw attention away from what we are looking at. Read More
Abnormal activation of parvalbumin neurons in the young mouse auditory cortex manifests as a result of maternal neglect. Read More
Lip reading causes brain activity to synchronize with sound waves, even when there is no audible sound. Read More
Study provides evidence of the existence of a long-rage inhibitory pathway from the auditory cortex to the amygdala in the brains of mice. Read More
