Small Networks Encode Decision-Making in Primary Auditory Cortex.
Sensory detection tasks enhance representations of behaviorally meaningful stimuli in primary auditory cortex (A1). However, it remains unclear how A1 encodes decision-making. Neurons in A1 layer 2/3 (L2/3) show heterogeneous stimulus selectivity and complex anatomical connectivity, and receive input from prefrontal cortex. Thus, task-related modulation of activity in A1 L2/3 might differ acros...
متن کاملDual Time Scales for Categorical Decision Making in Auditory Cortex
Category formation allows us to group perceptual objects into meaningful classes and is fundamental to cognition. Categories can be derived from similarity relationships of object features by using prototypes or multiple exemplars, or from abstract relationships of features and rules . A variety of brain areas have been implicated in categorization processes, but mechanistic insights on the sin...
متن کاملEncoding frequency contrast in primate auditory cortex.
Changes in amplitude and frequency jointly determine much of the communicative significance of complex acoustic signals, including human speech. We have previously described responses of neurons in the core auditory cortex of awake rhesus macaques to sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) signals. Here we report a complementary study of sinusoidal frequency modulation (SFM) in the same neurons. ...
متن کاملPerceptual learning in the developing auditory cortex.
A hallmark of the developing auditory cortex is the heightened plasticity in the critical period, during which acoustic inputs can indelibly alter cortical function. However, not all sounds in the natural acoustic environment are ethologically relevant. How does the auditory system resolve relevant sounds from the acoustic environment in such an early developmental stage when most associative l...
متن کاملContribution of auditory cortex to acoustical orientation in cats under conditions of discordant auditory reafference.
Head-orienting responses (ORs) evoked by a stationary source of sound typically terminate in small undershoots in normal hearing cats or in large undershoots (hypometria) if the auditory cortex is ablated bilaterally. In the present study, ORs executed by cats were studied using a procedure in which the OR produced an isogonal rotation of the sound source, i.e., response-produced change (reaffe...
