Summary
Project Summary/Abstract Auditory perception can become disrupted in disorders like autism and psychosis. Higher-order auditory pro- cessing occurs in the auditory thalamus and cortex. In turn, these areas project to the tail of the striatum (TS), where dopamine has been shown to modulate auditory processing and sound-guided decision-making. Given that dopamine transmission is disrupted in a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders that present with perceptual deficits, it is important to better understand the dopamine system's role in these deficits.
