Description

Researchers in the lab of Edward Chang, MD, at UCSF recorded activity from hundreds of individual neurons across all layers of the cortex while participants listened to spoken sentences. In a study published in Nature on December 13, 2023, the researchers showed that neurons responded to different speech sounds like parts of consonants and vowels, or the pitch of the voice. This work provides the most detailed picture yet of how the human brain processes speech. Series: "UC San Francisco News" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40240]
