Abstract

The auditory cortex (ACX) is the site of transformation from an acoustic analysis of the auditory scene to its perceptual representation. The circuits intrinsic to the ACX are crucial for creating auditory objects and the auditory processing related to higher cognitive information. Considerable progress has been made in the last decades to unravel the complexity of ACX. This chapter includes a description of the various cell types within the layers of ACX and a discussion of the anatomical and functional dissection of auditory cortical microcircuits in vitro and in vivo. Finally, those aspects of the cortex are considered with respect to the functional maps in ACX and auditory processing.
