Bastuji, H., Perrin, F. & Garcia-Larrea, L. Semantic analysis of auditory input during sleep: studies with event related potentials.
This suggests that basal (i.e. non-singing) FoxP2 levels in area X are not regulated by auditory input during song development.
However, the STG region that we see activated in all articulation tasks is one that responds to prelexical phonemic processing of auditory input during perception (Britton et al. 2009; Leff et al. 2009).
For example, a reduction in auditory input during the development of the auditory system in the mutants may lead to an increase in the innervation of some or all of the central auditory nuclei making the animals hypersensitive to acoustic stimuli, the octave band noise stimulus may set up an unusual resonance in the cochlea when the TM is malformed, or Tecta may be expressed in the brain.
Congenitally blind people never received any visual input, so the region was taken over by auditory input after birth.
"When you're asleep, your brain is still taking in auditory input and processing it in a rudimentary way," Winter said.
In our model, the level of internally driven activity depends on the uncertainty of auditory input.
To mimic the auditory input during disruptive auditory feedback during singing, we constructed 'BOS with noise' stimulus in which noise bursts were added to a single syllable within each repetition of the motif.
Taken together, these results demonstrate that inflectionally complex words initiate morpho-phonological decomposition by engaging most strongly the perceptual and linguistic systems during the time window within which auditory input provides evidence for the grammatical morpheme.
Therefore, we presume that many of the DAF-insensitive cells that we recorded receive auditory input but that these inputs are not activated during singing.
It is often assumed that mirror neuron activity during action observation is driven, bottom-up, by the visual (or auditory) input.
