PLOS BiologyThe medial geniculate body #MGB in the #auditory #thalamus is a key early node in sound processing. @neimarkgeffen @labhaas &co show in mice that two inhibitory neuron types have distinct connectivity & effects on sound processing @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/47twOtM
Thalamic reticular neurons provide cell type-specific modulation of sound processing in the auditory thalamus
The thalamic reticular nucleus is an important regulator of sensory processing and computation, but the functional roles of distinct neuron types in this brain region are unknown. By examining responses to tones in mice, this study shows that the two key inhibitory neuron types of the thalamic reticular nucleus exert unexpected, bidirectional effects on sound processing in the auditory thalamus.
This study in marmosets shows that task engagement facilitates #auditory neuronal responses both within & beyond their receptive fields, reallocating limited #neural resources to the most informative locations @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4sOqjds
Behavioral engagement facilitates auditory neuron responses beyond their receptive fields
During passive listening, auditory cortical neurons typically respond only to stimuli within a particular receptive field, but repeated stimulation can facilitate responses to non-preferred locations. This study in marmosets shows that task engagement facilitates neuronal responses both within and beyond their receptive fields, reallocating limited neural resources to the most informative locations.

Symbolic SoundUnique among the senses, the ear expends energy to amplify the stimuli that it detects. New research shows that a segment of mammalian cochlea ex vivo displays features of this active process—amplification, frequency tuning, compressive nonlinearity & generation of distortion products—operating locally & near criticality at a Hopf bifurcation—a unified biophysical principle that underlies auditory processing across species. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2503389122
