Principles governing auditory cortex connections.
Topographic maps are common constituents of the primary auditory, visual, and somatic sensory cortex. However, in most cortical areas, no such maps have yet been identified, posing a conceptual problem for theories of cortical function centered on topography. What principle guides the organization of these other areas? We investigated this issue in cat auditory cortex. The connectional topograp...
متن کاملAuditory connections and functions of prefrontal cortex
The functional auditory system extends from the ears to the frontal lobes with successively more complex functions occurring as one ascends the hierarchy of the nervous system. Several areas of the frontal lobe receive afferents from both early and late auditory processing regions within the temporal lobe. Afferents from the early part of the cortical auditory system, the auditory belt cortex, ...
متن کاملAuditory Cortex Mapmaking: Principles, Projections, and Plasticity
Maps of sensory receptor epithelia and computed features of the sensory environment are common elements of auditory, visual, and somatic sensory representations from the periphery to the cerebral cortex. Maps enhance the understanding of normal neural organization and its modification by pathology and experience. They underlie the derivation of the computational principles that govern sensory p...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex
Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of the parabelt auditory cortex in macaque monkeys.
The auditory cortex of macaque monkeys contains a core of primary-like areas surrounded by a narrow belt of associated fields that encompass much of the superior temporal plane in these animals. Adjacent to the lateral belt on the superior temporal gyrus is a parabelt region that contains at least two subdivisions (rostral and caudal). In a previous study (Hackett et al. [1998] J. Comp. Neurol....
