The 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 plos.io/47twOtM

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 plos.io/4sOqjds

Unique 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
