Modulatory Effects of Attention on Lateral Inhibition in the Human Auditory Cortex.

Reduced neural processing of a tone is observed when it is presented after a sound whose spectral range closely frames the frequency of the tone. This observation might be explained by the mechanism of lateral inhibition (LI) due to inhibitory interneurons in the auditory system. So far, several cha...
