AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The present study investigates the hemispheric asymmetry of auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) and mismatch negativity (MMN) during passive discrimination of the moving sound stimuli presented according to the oddball paradigm. The sound movement to the left/right from the head midline was produced by linear changes of the interaural time delay (ITD). It was found that the right-hemispheric N1 and P2 responses were more prominent than the left-hemispheric ones, especially in the fronto-lateral region. On the contrary, N250 and MMN responses demonstrated contralateral dominance in the fronto-lateral and fronto-medial regions. Direction of sound motion had no significant effect on the ERP or MMN topography. The right-hemispheric asymmetry of N1 increased with sound velocity. Maximal asymmetry of P2 was obtained with short stimulus trajectories. The contralateral bias of N250 and MMN increased with the spatial difference between standard and deviant stimuli. The results showed different type of hemispheric asymmetry for the early and late ERP components which could reflect the activity of distinct neural populations involved in the sensory and cognitive processing of the auditory input.

Dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) play a crucial role in controlling animals' orienting and approach behaviors toward relevant environmental stimuli. The ventral midbrain receives sensory input from the superior colliculus (SC), a tectal region processing information from contralateral receptive fields of various modalities. Given the significant influence of dopamine release imbalance in the left and right striatum on animals' movement direction, our study aimed to investigate the lateralization of the connection between the lateral SC and the midbrain DA system in male rats.

Objectives: Most human brains exhibit left hemisphere asymmetry for planum temporale (PT) surface area and gray matter volume, which is interpreted as cerebral lateralization for language. Once considered a uniquely human feature, PT asymmetries have now been documented in chimpanzees and olive baboons. The goal of the current study was to further investigate the evolution of PT asymmetries in nonhuman primates.

In this work, we propose a Fine-grained Hemispheric Asymmetry Network (FG-HANet), an end-to-end deep learning model that leverages hemispheric asymmetry features within 2-Hz narrow frequency bands for accurate and interpretable emotion classification over raw EEG data. In particular, the FG-HANet extracts features not only from original inputs but also from their mirrored versions, and applies Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters at a granularity as fine as 2-Hz to acquire fine-grained spectral information. Furthermore, to guarantee sufficient attention to hemispheric asymmetry features, we tailor a three-stage training pipeline for the FG-HANet to further boost its performance.

The processing of stationary sounds relies on both local features and compact representations. As local information is compressed into summary statistics, abstract representations emerge. Whether the brain is endowed with distinct neural architectures predisposed to such computations is unknown.
