The primary auditory cortex is one of three parts that make up the auditory cortex. It is located between the secondary and tertiary auditory cortexes, in the temporal lobe of the brain. This part of the cortex has the responsibility of processing sound information for the brain. All ...

There are several noise health effects that can result in damage to the primary auditory cortex. Birth defects cause damage found in newborn babies. Some diseases, such as meningitis and chickenpox, can lead to auditory cortex damage and hearing loss. Most commonly, however, consistent exposure ...
Neural projections from the cochlea proceed through the subcortical relays to the medial geniculate nucleus of the thalamus and then to the primary auditory cortex. The primary auditory Corte lies in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe and extends into the lateral sulcus, where the tra...

In the mustached bat, the primary auditory cortex (AI) can be divided into three subdivisions: the Doppler-shifted constant-frequencyprocessing (DSCF) area, and the anterior (AIa) and posterior (AIp) regions. The DSCF area is composed of two subdivisions:excitatory-excitatory (E-E) and inhibit...
auditory associative training. We find a sparse set (~5%) of layer 2/3 neurons in the primary auditory cortex, each of which reliably exhibits high-rate prolonged burst firing responses to the trained sound. Such bursts are largely absent in the auditory cortex of untrained mice. Strikingly, ...
we investigated alternative coding strategies for high envelope periodicities at the cortical level. Neuronal responses in the primary auditory cortex (AI) of gerbils to tones and AM were analysed. Two groups of stimuli were tested: (1) AM with a carrier frequency set to the unit's best frequ...
suggesting the anisotropic nature of the intrinsic circuit in the auditory cortex and the ability of such circuit in supporting activity propagation within an isofrequency strip.Consistent with this notion,a significant portion of spontaneous events in the primary auditory cortex showed similar spatio...
