FM velocity selectivity in the inferior colliculus is inherited from velocity-selective inputs and enhanced by spike threshold.
Frequency modulation (FM) is computed from the temporal sequence of activated auditory nerve fibers representing different frequencies. Most studies in the inferior colliculus (IC) have inferred from extracellular recordings that the precise timing of nonselective inputs creates selectivity for FM direction and velocity (Andoni S, Li N, Pollak GD. J Neurosci 27: 4882-4893, 2007; Fuzessery ZM, R...
متن کاملSpike-frequency adaptation in the inferior colliculus.
We investigated spike-frequency adaptation of neurons sensitive to interaural phase disparities (IPDs) in the inferior colliculus (IC) of urethane-anesthetized guinea pigs using a stimulus paradigm designed to exclude the influence of adaptation below the level of binaural integration. The IPD-step stimulus consists of a binaural 3,000-ms tone, in which the first 1,000 ms is held at a neuron's ...
متن کاملDirection selectivity mediated by adaptation in the owl's inferior colliculus.
Motion direction is a crucial cue for predicting future states in natural scenes. In the auditory system, the mechanisms that confer direction selectivity to neurons are not well understood. Neither is it known whether sound motion is encoded independently of stationary sound location. Here we investigated these questions in neurons of the owl's external nucleus of the inferior colliculus, wher...
متن کاملFacilitatory mechanisms shape selectivity for the rate and direction of FM sweeps in the inferior colliculus of the pallid bat.
The inferior colliculus (IC) of the pallid bat has a large percentage of neurons that respond selectively to the rate and direction of the bat's echolocation pulse, a downward FM sweep. Three underlying mechanisms have been previously described. Here we describe a fourth mechanism, facilitation, that shapes selectivity for both sweep rate and direction. The neurons studied are termed FM special...
متن کاملDifferential roles of GABAergic and glycinergic input on FM selectivity in the inferior colliculus of the pallid bat.
Multiple mechanisms have been shown to shape frequency-modulated (FM) selectivity within the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (IC) in the pallid bat. In this study we focus on the mechanisms associated with sideband inhibition. The relative arrival time of inhibition compared with excitation can be used to predict FM responses as measured with a two-tone inhibition paradigm. An early-...
