Distinct frequency-based interactions between cortical and subcortical regions highlight the cerebellum’s crucial role in speech production and perception.

The perception of ambiguous steps in relative tone height is predicted by direction-selective cells in the auditory cortex, rather than the brain's represented distance between the tone heights.

The neural response to natural speech and music processing is mostly shared between the domains, with additional evidence for selectivity in distributed (i.e. not regional) and frequency-specific neural activity.

The breathing motor program is re-engaged to control the fluctuations in vocal pitch during a sound.

Sleep-encoded vocabulary influences awake decision-making 36 hr later, particularly when targeting the vocabulary to slow-wave troughs, which suggests that unconscious episodic memory formation during deep sleep is possible.

Brain activity is modelled as a function of stimuli that evolve continuously in time, in experimental designs without repeated trials.
