Subject: mammalian aud. ctx. summary From: Aniruddh Patel <apatel(at)NSI.EDU> Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 08:52:27 -0800Dear colleagues, Here is a list of responses to my question last week about refs on mammalian auditory cortex. Thanks very much to all who replied. Ani Patel _________________________________________________________________________ > Can anyone recommend an up-to-date reference for an overview of the > neuranatomy and neurophysiology of mammalian auditory cortex?

Responses: Current Opinion in Neuroscience 1998.(They have lists of key papers for each major part of the brain, including one on the central auditory system.) Arbib's "Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks" is a good starting point for anything up to 1995. "The Auditory Cortex" by Lindsay Aitken, 1990, Chapman & Hall.... Most data there from primates.
