Neural gallops across auditory streams.
We continually rely on our ability to segregate the myriad sounds in our environment--phones ringing, people talking--into separate "auditory streams," each originating from a different source. In this issue of Neuron, Micheyl et al. provide the most direct evidence to date linking single-unit spiking responses from auditory cortex to the perception of distinct auditory streams.
