Fractured columnar small-world functional network organization in volumes of L2/3 of mouse auditory cortex

Abstract. The sensory cortices of the brain exhibit large-scale functional topographic organization, such as the tonotopic organization of the primary auditory

Many but not all deep neural network audio models capture brain responses and exhibit correspondence between model stages and brain regions

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the extent to which contemporary neural network models can account for auditory cortex responses; most, but not all, trained neural network models provide improved matches to auditory cortex responses compared to a classic baseline model of the auditory cortex, and exhibit correspondence with the organization of the auditory cortex.

Auditory cortex ensembles jointly encode sound and locomotion speed to support sound perception during movement

A sound can hold different behavioral relevance depending on the locomotive state, requiring the brain to integrate incoming sounds with the body’s locomotion. This study identifies a novel neural population code in the auditory cortex of rodents which integrates external sounds with the animal’s locomotion speed.
