Summary
Movement influences mouse auditory cortex neurons, with both suppression and enhancement of sound responses. This widespread modulation is conserved across auditory cortical fields during locomotion and other behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Auditory Neuroscience
- Systems Neuroscience
Background:
- Neurons in the mouse auditory cortex are significantly modulated by behavior, including movement.
- The auditory cortex has multiple fields with distinct sound processing roles and brain connectivity.
- Movement-related modulation varies at the single-cell level, suggesting potential differences across cortical fields.
Conclusions:
- Movement-related modulation is a widespread phenomenon in the mouse auditory cortex.
- Despite single-cell variability, the overall impact of locomotion on auditory cortex activity is similar across different fields.
- Auditory cortical modulation by movement is complex, integrating running speed and non-locomotor behaviors.

Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.
