During a Fun with DNA course in the summer offered in conjunction with Women in Science, Nowlan was the “perfect role model,” McBrien added, who proved to be “utterly approachable” and enthusiastic, ...

My recent work conducted in the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Northwestern University focused on how the auditory cortex encodes phonemes, how it synthesizes phonemes into words, and how ...

They state that there is “little evidence for circumscribed areas of the auditory cortex being uniquely specialized for processing auditory spatial information….” Furthermore, Belin and ...
