This study shows that deficits in extended high-frequency hearing reduce cortical response amplitudes to speech, even in young adults, and highlights the need to include EHF hearing in clinical assessments and hearing aid design.

The paper shows that neural responses to auditory deviants in primary auditory cortex encode frequency differences and contextual memory, supporting the idea of sensory prediction errors as difference signals.

This study investigates whether auditory deviants evoke cortical state changes under anaesthesia, finding that they trigger an initial prediction error followed by a prolonged cortical Up state.

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

The paper examines stimulus-specific adaptation in bat brains using natural distress vocalizations, finding limited SSA but context-dependent responses in frontal neurons.

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

This study shows that acetylcholine modulates prediction error responses in the auditory cortex of anesthetized rats, specifically affecting stimulus-specific adaptation in infragranular layers.

The paper investigates mismatch responses in the rat medial prefrontal cortex and finds they are driven by unpredictability and prediction error signaling, distinct from auditory system responses.

This study investigates how the NMDA-R antagonist MK-801 affects neuronal mismatch responses in the rat auditory thalamocortical pathway, finding it enhances repetition suppression in thalamus and prediction error in cortex.

This study investigates how dopamine modulates prediction error signaling in the rat nonlemniscal inferior colliculus, showing it reduces responsiveness to unexpected auditory input.
