title: Hearing: cortical activation does matter.
abstract: Lesion studies have suggested that the auditory cortex may not be involved in many aspects of hearing. A recent report casts doubt on this long-held view by showing that reversible inactivation of the auditory cortex leads to a transient impairment in tone detection and frequency discrimination.
