The paper investigates how inhibitory neurons in the mouse auditory cortex modulate context-dependent deviance responses to sound patterns, revealing a specific role for VIP neurons in enhancing deviance detection in regular contexts.

The paper investigates how uncertainty, relevance, and learning interact in auditory categorization by modeling human behavior with a Bayesian framework.

The paper studies how individual learning strategies during category learning affect category boundaries in mice.

The paper investigates how SST and VIP inhibitory neurons in the auditory cortex differentially shape population codes for sound intensity through optogenetic stimulation and calcium imaging.

This study identifies a direct piriform-to-auditory cortical circuit that modulates auditory responses to odors in mice.

The paper investigates how two types of inhibitory neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus differentially modulate sound processing in the auditory thalamus.

The paper shows that dynamic contrast adaptation in auditory cortex predicts perception of sounds in noise.

This study investigates how auditory cortex feedback influences predictive coding in the inferior colliculus through optogenetic inactivation in awake mice.

The paper investigates how sound and movement modulate visual responses in the primary visual cortex of awake mice, finding that sound improves neuronal encoding of visual stimuli even when movement is controlled for.

The paper develops a circuit model of the auditory cortex to explain the functional roles of PV and SST interneurons in processing sound-evoked responses and network dynamics.

The paper identifies a neuronal code in auditory cortex that predicts inter-subject variability in fear specificity before learning.

This study shows that activating excitatory projections from auditory cortex to inferior colliculus alters sound responses, while inhibitory interneurons in cortex do not affect collicular activity.

The paper analyzes spontaneous neural activity in mouse auditory cortex over time using network science, showing modular structure and a stable core of correlated cells.

The paper identifies a novel amygdala-TRN pathway that amplifies sound-evoked responses in the auditory cortex through suppression of spontaneous activity.

The paper shows that optogenetic manipulation of inhibition and excitation in the auditory cortex can paradoxically alter stimulus selectivity and behavioral frequency discrimination acuity, with cortical activity changes predicting behavioral outcomes.

This study shows that SOM and PV interneurons differentially shape frequency tuning in auditory cortex during adaptation, with SOM-driven inhibition maintaining selectivity.
