We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Human Auditory Cortex Physiology
? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant: Speech sounds are the most important sounds that humans hear, yet little is known about the functional properties of the interconnected auditory and auditory-related brain regions that are essential to normal speech perception. Our research goal is to understand where and how speech information is processed within this network. We use novel combinations of complementary invasive and non-invasive experimental methods to study these brain regions in neurosurgery patients who require placement of chronic intracranial electrodes. These experiments involve combining direct cortical electrophysiological recordings with electrical stimulation techniques and anatomical and functional MRI methods. Our investigative strategy makes use of these unique experimental opportunities to overcome long-standing barriers to progress in this research field. Recent methodological advances now enable us to simultaneously study neural processing and connectivity at all levels of this network and directly test neural models of speech perception in human subjects. We will pursue our goals by testing hypotheses regarding: (1) the locations and functional properties of auditory cortical fields and auditory-related cortices of the temporal and frontal lobes, (2) the functional connections between these areas and other regions of the human brain, and (3) the directional flow of speech information within this network. These objectives are pursued by an experienced multidisciplinary group of investigators with expertise encompassing all required clinical and research topic areas. To our knowledge, the resulting data will be the first of its kind to directl demonstrate how speech information is processed at all levels of the temporal-frontal lobe auditory cortical system, and to directly demonstrate point-to-point functional connections between these cortical network regions and sites elsewhere in the human brain. Knowledge of the normal network will improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of disease states affecting this system, and will provide mechanistic insights that are required to inform the design of new treatment strategies.
