Sentences with phrase «from auditory cortex»

It may be that distractions deprive the errant signals from the auditory cortex of the attention they need to cause real distress.

«Reorganization of brain outputs in deaf cats: Increased connections from auditory cortex to superior colliculus may support enhanced information process after hearing loss.»

Cats deaf from an early age have increased outgoing connections from the auditory cortex to a midbrain region responsible for directing the animal to a particular location in its environment.

The discovery of FFRs originating from the auditory cortex better informs research on neuroplasticity and its potential to improve auditory processing.

From the MEG signal, researchers were able to detect FFR signals coming from the auditory cortex, in addition to the known sub-cortical generators, something that had not previously been detected.

Not exact matches

The thinking goes that most cases of chronic tinnitus result from changes in the signals sent from the ear to neurons in the brain's auditory cortex.

In the course of examining single unit responses from the cortex of unrestrained and unanesthetized cats, we have come upon a population of cells that appears to be sensitive to auditory stimuli only if the cat «pays attention» to the sound source.

Recording the electrical activity of neurons directly from the surface of the brain, the scientists found that for a simple task, such as repeating a word presented visually or aurally, the visual and auditory cortexes reacted first to perceive the word.

Dr. Daniel Bendor, from University College London, describes a novel way that neurons in auditory cortex can encode temporal information, based on how their excitatory and inhibitory inputs get mixed together.

The team focused on the primary auditory cortex, which is the first cortical region to receive auditory signals from the ears via other parts of the brain, and the nonprimary auditory cortex, which plays a more sophisticated role in processing those stimuli.

According to a study conducted by researchers from CNRS and Inserm at the Centre de Recherche en Neurosciences de Lyon (CNRS / Inserm / Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1), amusics exhibit altered processing of musical information in two regions of the brain: the auditory cortex and the frontal cortex, particularly in the right cerebral hemisphere.

«Traditionally FFRs were called the «auditory brainstem responses», so we were very surprised when our method revealed that they also included a big contribution from the cortex,» says Robert Zatorre, Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University, and senior author.

«By diverting their attention away from sound, the participants» auditory cortex activity went down, and the signal we were measuring also went down.»

That structures responsible for sound and speech are affected in those with hearing loss wasn't a surprise, says Lin — shrinkage in those areas might simply be a consequence of an «impoverished» auditory cortex, which could become atrophied from lack of stimulation.

«This allows us to search for what parts of the brain are generally activated by auditory stimuli,» he says, «and to separate an auditory field — for example [the] primary auditory cortex from higher auditory fields.»
