Just a teaser: The superficial layers alone showed the left hemisphere dominance in envelope encoding, which is thought to be important in semantic vs prosodic language processing in humans. We speculate this could be a common aspect of encoding in primates (human and nonhuman).

Interareal and interlaminar differences in sound envelope encoding in core and parabelt auditory cortex Amplitude-modulation (AM) plays an important role in the perception of complex sounds, and transformations in AM encoding may underlie aspects of complex sound perception. Previous studies have descri...

Understanding how different intracortical circuits encode envelope fluctuations can lend insight into how information about communication signals is transformed across the cortical hierarchy. Check out the paper to see what we found: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Rapid envelope fluctuations form part of the foundation of our auditory perception. They allow us to differentiate the pitch of people’s voices, perceive speech as categorically different from music, etc.

New work from Yoshi Kajikawa and myself! 🐒 🦻

We measured sound envelope encoding in different cortical layers across the nonhuman primate auditory cortical hierarchy for the first time. Thread below.

Science must step away from nationally managed infrastructure Scientific data and independence are at risk. We need to work with community-driven services and university libraries to create new multi-country organizations that are resilient to political…

Great piece by @neuralreckoning.bsky.social with a nice hopeful vision of the future of science, as always

This account is for sharing info with US scientists, both extramural and intramural to NIH, about attacks on science in the US.

Education is power, and we can help advocate for science and medicine together. 💪🧪

We are a team of NIH people. Please ask us questions you might have.
