Repetition Selectively Reconfigures Offset-Defined Temporal Integration in Auditory Cortex

The paper investigates how repetition affects temporal integration in auditory cortex by analyzing single-unit activity in rats, finding that adaptation compresses preferred inter-click intervals while preserving population-level stability.

Expectation triggers a change-like EEG response without acoustic change

The paper shows that temporal uncertainty and task engagement influence predictive updating in auditory streams, revealing an endogenous change-like EEG response without physical stimulus change.

Temporal boundary gating of auditory sensitivity

The paper shows that auditory sensitivity to sound changes is gated by temporal boundaries, with sensitivity peaking mid-sound and dropping near onset and offset.

Echoes as Signal, Not Noise: Reverberation Sharpens Sensitivity to Temporal Structure

This study identifies echo-facilitated temporal sensitivity (EFTS) as a mechanism where echoes enhance the auditory system's ability to detect rapid temporal changes in sound.

Behaviorally gated hierarchical predictive coding in macaque auditory-prefrontal circuits

This study investigates predictive processing in macaque auditory-prefrontal circuits during an auditory oddball task, revealing hierarchical interactions between auditory and prefrontal cortices.

Walking selectively modulates behaviorally relevant auditory change responses in humans

This study shows that walking in humans reduces sensitivity to fine auditory temporal changes but preserves some auditory responses, revealing how locomotion modulates auditory processing.

Beyond Auditory Relay: Dissecting the Inferior Colliculus's Role in Sensory Prediction, Reward Prediction and Cognitive Decision-Making

This study reveals the Inferior Colliculus's role in sensory prediction, reward prediction, and decision-making through neural activity analysis in monkeys.

Hierarchical Encoding of Millisecond-Scale Temporal Configuration of Sound in the Mammalian Auditory Pathway

The paper identifies millisecond-scale temporal configuration of sound as a distinct auditory feature, showing hierarchical encoding across the mammalian auditory pathway.
