Receptive field properties of neurons in A1 can rapidly adapt their shapes during task
performance in accord with specific task demands and salient sensory cues (Fritz et al�…

Acoustic filter properties of A1 neurons can dynamically adapt to stimulus statistics, classical
conditioning, instrumental learning and the changing auditory attentional focus. We have�…

Previous studies have shown that the auditory cortex can enhance the perception of
behaviorally important sounds in the presence of background noise, but the mechanisms by�…

Receptive fields in primary auditory cortex (A1) can be rapidly and adaptively reshaped to
enhance responses to salient frequency cues when using single tones as targets. To�…

Neural responses recorded from auditory cortex exhibit adaptation, a stimulus-specific
decrease that occurs when the same sound is presented repeatedly. Stimulus-specific�…

Perception of vocalizations and other behaviorally relevant sounds requires integrating
acoustic information over hundreds of milliseconds. Sound-evoked activity in auditory cortex�…

Neuronal responses in auditory cortex show a fascinating mixture of characteristics that
span the range from almost perfect copies of physical aspects of the stimuli to extremely�…

To form a reliable, consistent, and accurate representation of the acoustic scene, a
reasonable conjecture is that cortical neurons maintain stable receptive fields after an early�…

Auditory experience leads to myriad changes in processing in the central auditory system.
We recently described task-related plasticity characterized by rapid modulation of spectro�…

To navigate complex acoustic environments, listeners adapt neural processes to focus on
behaviorally relevant sounds in the acoustic foreground while minimizing the impact of�…
