How are auditory features represented across the #AuditoryPathway? @bathellierlab.bsky.social show that #auditory feature tuning emerges through a mix of gradual & stepwise changes, with early representation of simple features & later refinement of complex ones @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4oi0XCY

New study of the lab showing that sleep preserve sound representations geometry in the auditory cortex but intermittently blocks the transfer of sensory information, possibly to provide both opportunities for surveillance and offline processing.

A nice new study of the lab showing that the auditory maintains a much more detailed short-term memory of the sound in the offset responses than subcortical regions of the auditory system. Next step would be to understand what are the neural dynamics underlying this.
Happy to announce my first postdoc preprint at @bathellierlab.bsky.social on offset responses in the auditory system! We found although these responses are found throughout the central auditory system, they provide richer information about elapsed sounds in the auditory cortex.

Sound offset responses become highly informative in the auditory cortex
The entire auditory system downstream of the cochlea features pronounced offset responses, which follow the termination of sounds. Because of their ubiquity, it is still an unsolved question whether o...

A putative neural correlate of mood!
One big (scandalous?) idea, simple analyses, and the STRONGEST brain/behavior correlation I've EVER seen (which is shocking, given that it's mood).

Catching up from the dead time w/o X, here is the excellent recently published study by Sara Jamali with @standehaene.bsky.social using the local-global prediction paradigm in mice. Oddball signaling is not just adaptation. Sequence chunking responses in VIPs. And some more doi.org/10.7554/eLif...
Parallel mechanisms signal a hierarchy of sequence structure violations in the auditory cortex
Responses to local and global violations in sound sequences are prediction errors and not simply the consequence of stimulus-specific adaptation.
