Rapid and long-lasting improvements in neural discrimination of acoustic signals with passive familiarization.

Sensory representations in the adult brain must undergo dynamic changes to adapt to the complexity of the external world. This study investigated how passive exposure to novel sounds modifies neural representations to facilitate recognition and discrimination, using the zebra finch model organism. T...
