An important outstanding question in auditory neuroscience is to identify the mechanisms by which specific motifs within inter-connected neural circuits affect auditory processing and, ultimately, behavior. In the auditory cortex, a combination of large-scale electrophysiological recordings and concurrent optogenetic manipulations are improving our understanding of the role of inhibitory–excitatory interactions. At the same time, computational approaches have grown to incorporate diverse neuronal types and connectivity patterns. However, we are still far from understanding how cortical microcircuits encode and transmit information about complex acoustic scenes. In this review, we focus on recent results identifying the special function of different cortical neurons in the auditory cortex and discuss a computational framework for future work that incorporates ideas from network science and network dynamics toward the coding of complex auditory scenes.
