A group of Dartmouth researchers has learned that the brain's auditory cortex, the part that handles information from your ears, holds on to musical memories. A group of Dartmouth researchers has ...

Sounds of language, upon reaching the ears, are converted into electrical signals by the cochlea and sent to a brain region called the auditory cortex on the temporal lobe. For decades ...

Brain imaging has shown that when we hear an unpleasant noise the amygdala modulates the response of the auditory cortex heightening activity and provoking our negative reaction. "It appears there ...

A German research team is helping to overturn traditional theories by mapping the response to visual stimuli of distinct areas of the auditory (hearing) cortex in the brains of macaque monkeys.

The scientists observed that, when hearing and memorizing notes, amusics exhibited altered sound processing in two regions of the brain: the auditory cortex and the frontal cortex, essentially in ...

"And all of a sudden we started seeing stuff in the auditory cortex — which we did not really expect," she says. To figure out what was going on, Lee teamed up with Kanold and got NIH funding ...
