The human auditory pathway is a highly sophisticated biological system that includes both physical structures and brain regions specialized in the perception and processing of sounds. The sounds that ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...

Physiological recordings in animals, including humans, have been consistent with two pathways in auditory regions, but conclusive evidence was lacking. Now, researchers have separated the "what" and ...

Models of speech perception are centered around a hierarchy in which auditory representations in the thalamus propagate to primary auditory cortex, then to the lateral temporal cortex, and finally ...

The human auditory cortex transforms acoustic input into coherent percepts through a hierarchical network spanning primary, belt and parabelt regions. Early stages in primary auditory cortex are ...

Humans don’t just recognize each other’s voices—our brains also light up for the calls of chimpanzees, hinting at ancient communication roots shared with our closest primate relatives. Researchers ...

Tinnitus is a common auditory perception disorder, and its pathological mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. In recent years, neuroinflammation has garnered widespread attention as a new ...

Scientists from China have identified the existence of human-like speech pathways in the brains of marmoset monkeys, providing insights into the evolution of speech and communication in primates.
