Neuroscientists are converging on a detailed picture of how the human brain carves continuous speech into words, drawing on ...

Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind of ...

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

The human brain is remarkably adept at adjusting what we hear based on contexts, like our current environment or priorities, but it's still unknown how exactly the brain helps us detect, filter and ...

Neuroscientists say the brain's auditory lexicon, a catalog of verbal language, is actually located in the front of the primary auditory cortex, not in back of it -- a finding that upends a ...

Voice experiments in people with epilepsy have helped trace the circuit of electrical signals in the brain that allow its hearing center to sort out background sounds from their own voices. Such ...

Music has been central to human cultures for tens of thousands of years, but how our brains perceive it has long been shrouded in mystery. Now, researchers at UC San Francisco have developed a precise ...

The connection between auditory or vestibular disorders and neuroinflammatory or neurodegenerative diseases has gained increased attention due to their impact on individuals’ quality of life. This ...

Auditory corollary discharge in the human starts in the bottom, or ventral, part of the motor cortex, a subregion called the precentral gyrus (red), and then move down across its folds to a ...
