FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF AUDITORY CORTEX

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本项目通过比较人类与黑猩猩（与人类关系最密切的动物）和猕猴，来了解人类听觉皮层的组织结构和人类特有的听觉皮层特征的演变。 该项目将使用神经成像和组织学技术来定义人类的高阶听觉区域，识别黑猩猩和猕猴的同源区域，并确定这三个物种听觉区域之间的连接模式。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project seeks to understand the organization of auditory cortex in humans and the evolution of human-specific features of auditory cortex by comparing humans with chimpanzees (the animals most closely related to humans) and in macaque monkeys. The project will use neuroimaging and histological techniques to define higher-order auditory areas in humans, identify homologous areas in chimpanzees and macaques, and determine patterns of connectivity between auditory areas in the three species.
