Abstract

Christensen et al. ask how sensory representation and its perception change with noise. They show that background white noise suppresses the activity of A1 neurons, surprisingly increasing the discriminability of tones spectrally close to each other. Optogenetic manipulation of A1 confirms the involvement of this region in the behavioral improvement.
