Neurons in auditory cortex integrate information within a constrained and context-invariant temporal window.
Article in Current biology : CB, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Much remains unknown about the computations that allow animals to flexibly integrate across multiple timescales in natural sounds. One key question is whether multiscale integration is accomplished by diverse populations of neurons, each of which integrates information within a constrained temporal window, or whether individual units effectively integrate across many different temporal scales depending on the information rate. Here, we show that responses from neurons throughout the ferret auditory cortex are nearly completely unaffected by sounds falling beyond a time-limited "integration window." This window varies substantially across cells within the auditory cortex (∼15 to ∼150 ms), increasing substantially from the primary to non-primary auditory cortex across all cortical layers, but is unaffected by the information rate of sound. These results indicate that multiscale computation is predominantly accomplished by diverse and hierarchically organized neural populations, each of which integrates information within a highly constrained temporal window.
