Sounds and beyond: multisensory and other non-auditory signals in the inferior colliculus
The inferior colliculus (IC) is a major processing center situated mid-way along both the ascending and descending auditory pathways of the brain stem. Although it is fundamentally an auditory area, the IC also receives anatomical input from non-auditory sources. Neurophysiological studies corroborate that non-auditory stimuli can modulate auditory processing in the IC and even elicit responses...
متن کاملVisual- and saccade-related signals in the primate inferior colliculus.
The inferior colliculus (IC) is normally thought of as a predominantly auditory structure because of its early position in the ascending auditory pathway just before the auditory thalamus. Here, we show that a majority of IC neurons (64% of 180 neurons) in awake monkeys carry visual- and/or saccade-related signals in addition to their auditory responses (P < 0.05). The response patterns involve...
متن کاملNMDA and non-NMDA glutamate receptors in auditory transmission in the barn owl inferior colliculus.
The pharmacology of auditory responses in the inferior colliculus (IC) of the barn owl was investigated by iontophoresis of excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists into two different functional subdivisions of the IC, the external nucleus (ICx) and the lateral shell of the central nucleus (lateral shell), both of which carry out important computations in the processing of auditory spatial in...
متن کاملSpectrotemporal Integration and Response Variability in the Inferior Colliculus, Auditory Thalamus, and Auditory Cortex
The overall goal of our research is to understand how complex sounds are encoded by single neuron activity in the central auditory system, how the activity of single neurons gives rise to spatially distributed representations or "sensory maps" for acoustic signal attributes, and how these representations are transformed from one auditory station to the other. I will present recent work from our...
متن کاملpatterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment
although there are studies on pragmatic assessment, to date, literature has been almost silent about native and non-native english raters’ criteria for the assessment of efl learners’ pragmatic performance. focusing on this topic, this study pursued four purposes. the first one was to find criteria for rating the speech acts of apology and refusal in l2 by native and non-native english teachers...
