There has been substantial progress in understanding the contributions of the auditory forebrain to hearing, sound localization, communication, emotive behavior, and cognition. The Auditory Cortex covers the latest knowledge about the auditory forebrain, including the auditory cortex as well as the medial geniculate body in the thalamus. This book will cover all important aspects of the auditory forebrain organization and function, integrating the auditory thalamus and cortex into a smooth, coherent whole. Volume One covers basic auditory neuroscience. It complements The Auditory Cortex, Volume 2: Integrative Neuroscience, which takes a more applied/clinical perspective.

Current theories of visual change detection emphasize the importance of conscious attention to detect unexpected changes in the visual environment. However, an increasing body of studies shows that the human brain is capable of detecting even small visual changes, especially if such changes violate non-conscious probabilistic expectations based on repeating experiences. In other words, our brain automatically represents statistical regularities of our visual environmental. Since the discovery of the auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) event-related potential (ERP) component, the majority of research in the field has focused on auditory deviance detection. Such automatic change detection mechanisms operate in the visual modality too, as indicated by the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) brain potential to rare changes. VMMN is typically elicited by stimuli with infrequent (deviant) features embedded in a stream of frequent (standard) stimuli, outside the focus of attention. In this research topic we aim to present vMMN as a prediction error signal. Predictive coding theories account for phenomena such as mismatch negativity and repetition suppression, and place them in a broader context of a general theory of cortical responses. A wide range of vMMN studies has been presented in this Research Topic. Twelve articles address roughly four general sub-themes including attention, language, face processing, and psychiatric disorders. Additionally, four articles focused on particular subjects such as the oblique effect, object formation, and development and time-frequency analysis of vMMN. Furthermore, a review paper presented vMMN in a hierarchical predictive coding framework. Each paper in this Research Topic is a valuable contribution to the field of automatic visual change detection and deepens our understanding of the short term plasticity underlying predictive processes of visual perceptual learning.

Connecting the auditory brain stem to sensory, motor, and limbic systems, the inferior colliculus is a critical midbrain station for auditory processing. Winer and Schreiner's The Inferior Colliculus, a critical, comprehensive reference, presents the current knowledge of the inferior colliculus from a variety of perspectives, including anatomical, physiological, developmental, neurochemical, biophysical, neuroethological and clinical vantage points. Written by leading researchers in the field, the book is an ideal introduction to the inferior colliculus and central auditory processing for clinicians, otolaryngologists, graduate and postgraduate research workers in the auditory and other sensory-motor systems.

Nuestra hipótesis general de trabajo es que la detección de la novedad es un principio básico de organización funcional del sistema auditivo y que el potencial de disparidad (MMN) y las neuronas detectoras de sonidos novedosos son expresiones distintas pero, correlacionadas, de la activación de este sistema detector de la novedad. El conocimiento sobre los mecanismos neurológicos implicados en la detección de la novedad en el sistema auditivo pasa por establecer las posibles relaciones funcionales entre estas neuronas y el potencial de disparidad (MMN). Para ello, es fundamental caracterizar la naturaleza de las respuestas de estas mismas neuronas en los diferentes niveles de la vía auditiva. Puesto que desconocemos en gran medida los detalles de este tipo de adaptación en el cuerpo geniculado medial y que los estudios existentes son en gran medida discutibles (Anderson et al., 2009; Ulanovsky et al., 2003; Yu et al., 2009), pensamos que es necesario un estudio detallado de caracterización fisiológica de la adaptación específica al estímulo en este centro talámico.

'Auditory temporal processing' determines our understanding of speech, our appreciation of music, our ability to localize a sound source, and even to listen to a person in a noisy crowd. This book reviews the mechanisms for temporal processing in the auditory system, looking at how these underlie specific clinical disorders, and their treatment.

This volume will explore the most recent findings on cellular mechanisms of inhibitory plasticity and its functional role in shaping neuronal circuits, their rewiring in response to experience, drug addiction and in neuropathology. Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity will be of particular interest to neuroscientists and neurophysiologists.

One of the core problems the brain has to solve is how to navigate and interact with the external world. This requires a complex analysis of sensory input, the translation of perceptual input to goal-directed behavior, followed by motor planning and execution. In this thesis we investigated two crucial aspects of this perception-action cycle. First, we examined the underlying neural mechanisms that support response inhibition. Here, novel sensory information is integrated on very short time-scales to cancel an already planned action. The frontal cortex is believed to play a crucial role in the temporal organization of goal-directed behavior and cognitive control and is implicated in stopping a motor response. Using the high spatiotemporal resolution of electrocorticography (ECoG), we found evidence for two distinct processes localized to the middle frontal gyrus (MFG). High-frequency band (HFB) power increased in stop-trials before the stop-signal reaction time (SSRT), showing no difference between successful and unsuccessful stops. We interpret this activation as contributing to the stopping process, either by signaling the stop-signal itself, or by implementing attentional control. A second HFB activation was observed after the go and stop processes have finished, and was larger for unsuccessful stops, and is likely related to behavioral monitoring. Our results support the notion that frontal cortex implements different functions related to stopping. Implementing the perception-action cycle not only involves re-acting to novel information from the senses in a bottom-up manner. It is believed that the brain also implements a strategy anticipating future events based on prior knowledge. Here we investigated how anticipation of sounds influences auditory processing. Using both EEG and ECoG, we employed a task with omissions of expected sounds, thereby isolating endogenous responses to expectations in auditory cortex. We found that a subset of auditory active electrodes in lateral superior temporal gyrus (STG) and superior temporal sulcus (STS) showing HFB power increases to omissions. We were able to successfully decode whether the subject heard the syllable ‘Ba’ or ‘Ga’. However, which sound was omitted could not be decoded from auditory active sites, nor from the omission HFB increase specifically. We also observed a negative ERP in posterior STG in the intracranial data, which may be related to an auditory cortical generator of the N2 component. In a separate EEG studies we also observed both an N2 negativity, as well as a negativity occurring before the intracranial negativity, the source of which may be in A1, a region which we could not access intracranially. Finally, a P3a ERP was observed in EEG, which points to both the HFB and ERP effects in posterior STG to be signatures of auditory-specific salience or mismatch detection.
