Preceding Inhibition Silences Layer 6 Neurons in Auditory Cortex
A canonical feedforward circuit is proposed to underlie sensory cortical responses with balanced excitation and inhibition in layer 4 (L4). However, in another input layer, L6, sensory responses and the underlying synaptic circuits remain largely unclear. Here, cell-attached recordings in rat primary auditory cortex revealed that for the majority of L6 excitatory neurons, tonal stimuli did not ...
متن کاملUnbalanced synaptic inhibition can create intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons.
Intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons have spike rates that are nonmonotonic functions of sound intensity: their spike rate initially increases and peaks as sound intensity is increased, then decreases as sound intensity is further increased. They are either "unbalanced," receiving disproportionally large synaptic inhibition at high sound intensities; or "balanced," receiving intensity-tuned ...

متن کاملVisual modulation of neurons in auditory cortex.
Our brain integrates the information provided by the different sensory modalities into a coherent percept, and recent studies suggest that this process is not restricted to higher association areas. Here we evaluate the hypothesis that auditory cortical fields are involved in cross-modal processing by probing individual neurons for audiovisual interactions. We find that visual stimuli modulate ...
متن کاملCorticostriatal neurons in auditory cortex drive decisions during auditory discrimination
The neural pathways by which information about the acoustic world reaches the auditory cortex are well characterized, but how auditory representations are transformed intomotor commands is not known. Here we use a perceptual decision-making task in rats to study this transformation. We demonstrate the role of corticostriatal projection neurons in auditory decisions by manipulating the activity ...
