Medial geniculate body and primary auditory cortex differentially contribute to striatal sound representations, Published online: 24 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08350-7

The precise role of auditory cortical and thalamic projections in the representation of sound in the auditory striatum is not known. Here, the authors show that silencing thalamic inputs lowers the gain of sound-evoked responses while cortical inputs only affect the best frequency responses of striatal neurons.
