Dynamics of precise spike timing in primary auditory cortex.
Although single units in primary auditory cortex (A1) exhibit accurate timing in their phasic response to the onset of sound (precision of a few milliseconds), paradoxically, they are unable to sustain synchronized responses to repeated stimuli at rates much beyond 20 Hz. To explore the relationship between these two aspects of cortical response, we designed a broadband stimulus with a slowly m...
متن کاملPrecise spike timing in silicon
31 32 A fundamental question in neuroscience is how neurons perform precise operations despite inherent variability. This 33 question also applies to neuromorphic engineering, where low-power microchips emulate the brain using large 34 populations of diverse silicon neurons. Biological neurons in the auditory pathway display precise spike timing— 35 critical for sound localization and interpret...
متن کاملAsynchronous inputs alter excitability, spike timing, and topography in primary auditory cortex.
Correlation-based synaptic plasticity provides a potential cellular mechanism for learning and memory. Studies in the visual and somatosensory systems have shown that behavioral and surgical manipulation of sensory inputs leads to changes in cortical organization that are consistent with the operation of these learning rules. In this study, we examine how the organization of primary auditory co...
متن کاملSeasonal plasticity of precise spike timing in the avian auditory system.
Vertebrate audition is a dynamic process, capable of exhibiting both short- and long-term adaptations to varying listening conditions. Precise spike timing has long been known to play an important role in auditory encoding, but its role in sensory plasticity remains largely unexplored. We addressed this issue in Gambel's white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii), a songbird that s...
متن کاملFirst-spike timing of auditory-nerve fibers and comparison with auditory cortex.
First-spike timing of auditory-nerve fibers and comparison with auditory cortex. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2438-2454, 1997. The timing of the first spike of cat auditory-nerve (AN) fibers in response to onsets of characteristic frequency (CF) tone bursts was studied and compared with that of neurons in primary auditory cortex (AI), reported previously. Tones were shaped with cosine-squared rise func...
