Task-modulated 'what' and 'where' pathways in human auditory cortex. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103 (2006) 14608-14613. Human neuroimaging study of selective attention to auditory object identification and localization using dual approaches (fMRI and MEG). Subjects were asked to attend either to the phonetic content of sound pairs or to their location. The key finding was a double dissociation in response adaptation to sound pairs with phonetic versus spatial sound changes dependent upon attentive focus, and the demonstration of parallel 'what' and 'where' pathways for sound processing. Further, with the time resolution of MEG, it was possible to show that activation of these parallel pathways occurred as early as 70-150 ms from stimulus onset and that the 'where' pathway was activated ∼30 ms earlier than the 'what' pathway...

In order to map the neural basis of bimodal divided attention-attending to one sense while ignoring another - an fMRI study was conducted in which subjects simultaneously heard novel melodies and viewed geometric shapes, and in different conditions, were instructed to attend to only one sense (bimodal selective attention) or to both senses at the same time (bimodal divided attention). Bimodal selective attention lead to increased activity in relevant sensory cortices and simultaneous decrease in irrelevant sensory cortex. Thus top-down attentional effects modulate the interaction of sensory cortical areas by enhancing processing in one modality at the expense of the other. Subjects with the best performance during the selective-attention task showed the greatest enhancement of activity in relevant sensory cortices. However, unlike the selective-attention conditions, divided attention recruited heteromodal areas in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). These results suggest that selective attention was achieved by a different neural set of neural processes. Selective attention acted by modulation of sensory cortices, whereas bimodal attention recruited DLPFC.

This study developed an innovative approach that made it possible to simultaneously measure spectral-temporal receptive fields (STRFs) with task performance, providing multiple snapshots of the dynamically changing STRF during ongoing behavior. Ferrets were trained on a generalized tone detection task, in which they learned to detect tones of any frequency, in the context of background noisy stimuli. Attending to a specific target frequency during the detection task consistently induced localized facilitative changes in STRF shape, which were swift in onset (<2 min) and could persist for hours, and provide a form of sensory memory. The authors propose that such modulatory changes could enhance overall cortical responsiveness to the target tone and increase the likelihood of 'capturing' the attended target during the task.

In this behavioral physiology study, ferrets were initially trained on generalized frequency-independent tasks - a single-tone detection task, and a two-tone discrimination task. While recording from the same neurons, spectral-temporal receptive fields (STRFs) were measured in A1 under resting (non-task conditions) and also while ferrets successively performed frequency discrimination or tone detection tasks. Both tasks enhanced STRFs at the target frequency. In the discrimination task, however, STRF suppression was observed at the reference frequency. STRF changes were rapid and frequency-selective for both task conditions. In successive tasks, neurons responded differentially to identical tones, depending upon whether the tone was a reference or target. These task-dependent differences in receptive-field plasticity reflect differences in the meaning attributed to identical stimuli according to the context in which they were presented.

A neuroimaging approach was used to test the prediction that differential attentional focus on the same stimulus set would differentially activate auditory cortex. Subjects were presented with the same set of frequency-modulated tone sweeps, which the subjects were asked to categorize, either in pitch direction (rising or falling), or in duration (short or long). When the task involved attention to pitch direction, there was greater activation in right posterior auditory cortex than passive stimulus exposure. By contrast, there was greater left posterior auditory cortex activation when the task involved attention to sweep duration. These results provide strong evidence that top-down influences can differentially shape responses in the two hemispheres, leading to lateralized patterns of activation, dependent upon task constraints and attentional focus.

Heschl's gyrus, posterior superior temporal gyrus, and mid-ventrolateral prefrontal cortex have different roles in the detection of acoustic changes. J Neurophysiol 97 (2007) 2075-2082. The neural basis of MMN, an automatic, pre-attentive system for change-detection in the acoustic environment has been the object of considerable interest. The results of this neuroimaging study, utilizing a combination of event-related fMRI and EEG, suggest that automatic change processing consists of three stages: (1) initial detection in A1; (2) further analysis in secondary and tertiary auditory cortical areas (posterior superior temporal gyrus and planum temporale), and (3) judgement of suffifcient novelty for allocation of attentional resources in the mid-ventrolateral PFC.

60. Ulanovsky N., Las L., and Nelken I. Processing of low-probability sounds by cortical neurons. Nat Neurosci 6 (2003) 391-398. The ability to detect rare auditory events was studied at the single cell level in anesthetized cat A1. Cortical neurons responded more strongly to a rarely presented sound than to the same sound when it was common, as a result of stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA). By contrast, medial geniculate auditory thalamic neurons were insensitive to the probability of frequency deviants and did not show SSA. Many similarities between SSA and MMN suggest that SSA may be a single-neuron correlate of the EEG mismatch negativity (MMN) that is evoked by deviant (rare) sounds. These data suggest that A1 neurons play a role in novelty detection and also in sensory memory.

Top-down control of the auditory space map was demonstrated by using low-level electrical stimulation of the gaze control circuitry in the forebrain of barn owls (below the threshold to elicit changes in gaze) to show that such stimulation regulates the gain of midbrain auditory responses in the tectum in an attention-like manner. When the forebrain circuit was stimulated, midbrain responses to auditory stimuli at the location encoded by the forebrain site were enhanced and spatial selectivity was sharpened. By contrast, the same stimulation suppressed responses to auditory stimuli represented at other locations in the midbrain map. Such space-specific top-down regulation of auditory responses by gaze control circuitry in the barn owl parallels similar results obtained in the primate visual system following stimulation of the frontal gaze control system.

In this neuroimaging study of auditory attention, subjects were instructed to direct their attention to an anticipated future sound in the context of complete silence. Subjects had to detect a sound after silent periods of variable duration. The location of the anticipated sound could be cued. The key result was that the auditory cortex showed two types of activation contralateral to the expected sound: first, an increased baseline shift during the silent, expectant period, and second, an enhanced response to a sound delivered after cueing. These results indicate that top-down attention selectively activated primary and secondary auditory areas in readiness for processing an expected stimulus. Frontal cortical activation was also observed (in inferior frontal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) regardless of which side the anticipated sounds was searched for.

Neuroreport 16 (2005) 125-128. There has been considerable debate as to whether visual speech perception (watching lip movements and other articulatory gestures) can activate human primary auditory cortex. A neuroimaging study that revisited this controversial issue was conducted with a novel control. After mapping individual subjects' Heschl's gyri, signal changes in this region were measured during visual speech perception and also during observation of moving circles. Activation was stronger during visual speech perception, particularly in the left hemisphere, than during scrutiny of the moving circles (which had no auditory associations). These results suggest that multimodal inputs are recruited during speech and confirm visual activation of A1 during speech perception.

Adult rats were presented with a set of tones of variable frequency and intensity, and different groups were trained to attend to independent parameters, either frequency or intensity, within this stimulus set. After several weeks of training, rats in the frequency-recognition group exhibited an increased number of neurons in A1 that were selective for frequencies close to that of the target tone. By contrast, animals in the intensity-recognition group were characterized by a higher number of neurons with non-monotonic response-level functions that peaked at values close to the target intensity. Similar, but less pronounced changes were also observed in a secondary auditory field. The degree of map plasticity within the task-relevant stimulus dimension was correlated with the degree of perceptual learning for both tasks. By contrast, there were no changes in the task-irrelevant dimension in either field. These results suggest that long-term, top-down attentional effects can selectively shape adaptive global changes in the neural representation in A1 for single features that underlie learning-induced improvements in perceptual abilities.

To test the hypothesis that learning-induced representational expansion in A1 directly encodes the behavioral importance of a sound, rats trained on an operant auditory conditioning test were variably motivated to the conditioned stimulus (CS) frequency via different levels of thirst. Mean behavioral performance correlated with water deprivation level, and thus gave a range of behavioral importance for the CS in the different deprivation groups. Tonotopic mapping of A1 showed expanded relative representation in the CS high-frequency region. The magnitude of this expansion was

Two monkeys were extensively trained on a cognitive auditory categorization task to distinguish between rising and falling contours in a sequence of tones. Each trial began with a light flash cue, signaling to the monkey that it could grasp a bar, which initiated a tone sequence. The monkeys received a reward if they correctly released the bar for a falling frequency contour. The key findings were: (1) that many acoustically responsive neurons in A1 and posterior belt areas exhibited multimodal responses. These responses in auditory cortex (light-cue-related firing, bar-grasp and bar-release-related firing) reflected visual and somatosensory-motor cues and influences. (2) Auditory cortical neurons responded to each of the behaviorally relevant events in the auditory task, independent of modality. (3) This multimodal representation and firing pattern disappeared when the monkeys shifted to a visual detection task, suggesting that this multimodal activation was task dependent and gated by performance of the auditory task.

Prism rearing has proven to be a powerful approach for exploring the adaptive plasticity of the barn owl's auditory localization system. Adjustments in the auditory space map in the optic tectum to match the optically displaced visual map take place during development, whereas plasticity in adults was thought to be much more limited. This study shows, however, that much greater map plasticity is possible in adult birds if they are allowed to hunt their prey (thus providing coordinated visual and auditory cues in the context of high arousal and focused attention) rather than being provided with dead mice. Moreover, the magnitude of the shifts in auditory spatial tuning correlated with improvements in the accuracy with which the owls strike their prey.

Localization of sounds in the horizontal plane is impaired if binaural cues are distorted by occluding one ear. Adult ferrets generally do not recover auditory localization ability following occlusion. However, stimulus-specific training in the adult ferret allows substantial adaptation to take place, which can occur in the absence of vision or error feedback. Such training requires that the animal actively attend to auditory information, seeking reliable cues that can assist it in obtaining reward. The basis for this plasticity appears to involve a re-weighting of different localization cues such that the ferrets learn to ignore the altered cues and to rely instead on other auditory cues, especially the spectral information provided by the unoccluded ear, that are less affected by the earplug.

Using neuroimaging techniques, human brain activity was studied during attentional shifts between vision and audition. Attention shifts from vision to audition caused increased activity in the attended sensory cortex and decreased activity in the unattended sensory cortex. Moreover, posterior parietal and superior prefrontal cortices showed short-lived increases in activity that were time-locked to the onset of voluntary attentional shifts between vision and audition. These results suggest that the frontal-parietal network implicated in visual attention also plays a role in auditory attention and crossmodal shifts of attention.

Chinchillas were trained on a visual discrimination or in an auditory frequency discrimination task. By using a chronically implanted round-window electrode, it was possible to obtain two measures of cochlear sensitivity - sound-evoked auditory nerve compound action potentials and cochlear microphonics - during selective attention to either visual or auditory stimuli. A decrease in cochlear sensitivity was observed during visual attention, but not during auditory attention. The magnitude of this decrease correlated with the parametrically varied attentional demands of the visual task. These results demonstrate that afferent auditory activity can be modulated by selective attention as early as sensory transduction, perhaps through the influence of the olivocochlear efferent pathway.
