Layer 6 is a hub for cholinergic modulation in the mouse auditory cortex

The paper identifies layer 1 inhibitory neurons and layer 6 excitatory neurons as hubs mediating cholinergic modulation in the mouse auditory cortex through distinct receptor mechanisms.

Cortical determinants of loudness perception and auditory hypersensitivity

This study shows that modulating parvalbumin-expressing neurons in the auditory cortex can adjust loudness perception and reverse auditory hypersensitivity in mice.

Sound elicits stereotyped facial movements that provide a sensitive index of hearing abilities

The paper identifies facial motion energy (FME) as a sensitive measure of hearing abilities in mice, showing its reliability and ability to decode speech in noise.

Cortical contributions to the perception of loudness and hyperacusis

This study investigates how changes in parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory interneurons in the auditory cortex affect loudness perception and hyperacusis in mice.

Neural signatures of auditory hypersensitivity following acoustic trauma

This study shows that acoustic trauma leads to non-homeostatic gain changes in auditory cortex neurons, contributing to hypersensitivity to sound.

Auditory Corticothalamic Neurons are Recruited by Motor Preparatory Inputs

The paper identifies that motor preparatory inputs activate auditory corticothalamic neurons before orofacial movements in mice.

Cellular and widefield imaging of sound frequency organization in primary and higher-order fields of the mouse auditory cortex

The paper uses imaging techniques to map sound frequency organization in mouse auditory cortex fields, identifying new areas and clarifying tonotopic organization.
