Spatial sensitivity in the dorsal zone (area DZ) of cat auditory cortex.
We compared the spatial sensitivity of neural responses in three areas of cat auditory cortex: primary auditory cortex (A1), the posterior auditory field (PAF), and the dorsal zone (DZ). Stimuli were 80-ms pure tones or broadband noise bursts varying in free-field azimuth (in the horizontal plane) or elevation (in the vertical median plane), presented at levels 20-40 dB above units' thresholds....
متن کاملSpatial sensitivity in field PAF of cat auditory cortex.
We compared the spatial tuning properties of neurons in two fields [primary auditory cortex (A1) and posterior auditory field (PAF)] of cat auditory cortex. Broadband noise bursts of 80-ms duration were presented from loudspeakers throughout 360 degrees in the horizontal plane (azimuth) or 260 degrees in the vertical median plane (elevation). Sound levels varied from 20 to 40 dB above units' th...
متن کاملTemporal integration and duration tuning in the dorsal zone of cat auditory cortex.
The present study examined auditory cortical neurons, the responses of which depended on the duration of noise bursts. We recorded from 150 neurons with response latencies exceeding 30 msec and from 28 neurons with OFF responses to auditory stimuli in the dorsal zone of cat auditory cortex. Of 150 long-latency neurons, 132 displayed some form of duration selectivity. Seventy-eight were classifi...
متن کاملDissociable influences of primary auditory cortex and the posterior auditory field on neuronal responses in the dorsal zone of auditory cortex.
Current models of hierarchical processing in auditory cortex have been based principally on anatomical connectivity while functional interactions between individual regions have remained largely unexplored. Previous cortical deactivation studies in the cat have addressed functional reciprocal connectivity between primary auditory cortex (A1) and other hierarchically lower level fields. The pres...
متن کاملSound localization deficits during reversible deactivation of primary auditory cortex and/or the dorsal zone.
We examined the contributions of primary auditory cortex (A1) and the dorsal zone of auditory cortex (DZ) to sound localization behavior during separate and combined unilateral and bilateral deactivation. From a central visual fixation point, cats learned to make an orienting response (head movement and approach) to a 100-ms broadband noise burst emitted from a central speaker or one of 12 peri...
