Dear colleagues,

Here is a list of responses to my question last week about refs on
mammalian
auditory cortex.  Thanks very much to all who replied.

Responses:

Current Opinion in Neuroscience 1998.(They have lists of key papers for
each major part of the brain, including one on the central auditory
system.)

Arbib's "Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks" is a good
starting point for anything up to 1995.

"The Auditory Cortex" by Lindsay Aitken, 1990, Chapman & Hall.... Most
data there from primates.

The central auditory system edited by Gunter Ehret, Raymond Romand New
York : Oxford University Press, 1997

Pickles (1992): An introduction to the physiology of hearing, Academic
Press; 2nd edition

Chermak & Musiek (1997):  Central auditory processing disorders-new
perspectives, Singular Publishing

Musiek (1986):  Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology and central auditory
assessment: The cerebrum; Ear and Hearing journal, 7, 283-294.

parallel processing in Rhesus monkey auditory cortex. Journal of
Comparative Neurology, 382, 89-103.

You can get a more general and clearly written overview from:

Neurobiol 8: 516-521.
