Binary spiking in auditory cortex.
Neurons are often assumed to operate in a highly unreliable manner: a neuron can signal the same stimulus with a variable number of action potentials. However, much of the experimental evidence supporting this view was obtained in the visual cortex. We have, therefore, assessed trial-to-trial variability in the auditory cortex of the rat. To ensure single-unit isolation, we used cell-attached r...
متن کاملBinary Coding in Auditory Cortex
Cortical neurons have been reported to use both rate and temporal codes. Here we describe a novel mode in which each neuron generates exactly 0 or 1 action potentials, but not more, in response to a stimulus. We used cell-attached recording, which ensured single-unit isolation, to record responses in rat auditory cortex to brief tone pips. Surprisingly, the majority of neurons exhibited binary ...
متن کاملLocal field potentials and spiking activity in the primary auditory cortex in response to social calls.
The mustached bat, Pteronotus parnellii, uses complex communication sounds ("calls") for social interactions. We recorded both event-related local field potentials (LFPs) and single/few-unit (SU) spike activity from the same electrode in the posterior region of the primary auditory cortex (AIp) during presentation of simple syllabic calls to awake bats. Temporal properties of the LFPs, which re...
متن کاملSubthreshold membrane responses underlying sparse spiking to natural vocal signals in auditory cortex.
Natural acoustic communication signals, such as speech, are typically high-dimensional with a wide range of co-varying spectro-temporal features at multiple timescales. The synaptic and network mechanisms for encoding these complex signals are largely unknown. We are investigating these mechanisms in high-level sensory regions of the songbird auditory forebrain, where single neurons show sparse...
متن کاملSpiking in auditory cortex following thalamic stimulation is dominated by cortical network activity
The state of the sensory cortical network can have a profound impact on neural responses and perception. In rodent auditory cortex, sensory responses are reported to occur in the context of network events, similar to brief UP states, that produce "packets" of spikes and are associated with synchronized synaptic input (Bathellier et al., 2012; Hromadka et al., 2013; Luczak et al., 2013). However...
