Specific and nonspecific plasticity of the primary auditory cortex elicited by thalamic auditory neurons.
The ventral and medial divisions of the medial geniculate body (MGBv and MGBm) respectively are the lemniscal and nonlemniscal thalamic auditory nuclei. Lemniscal neurons are narrowly frequency tuned and provide highly specific frequency information to the primary auditory cortex (AI), whereas nonlemniscal neurons are broadly frequency tuned and project widely to auditory cortical areas includi...
متن کاملModulation of thalamic auditory neurons by the primary auditory cortex.
The central auditory system consists of the lemniscal and nonlemniscal pathways or systems, which are anatomically and physiologically different from each other. In the thalamus, the ventral division of the medial geniculate body (MGBv) belongs to the lemniscal system, whereas its medial (MGBm) and dorsal (MGBd) divisions belong to the nonlemniscal system. Lemniscal neurons are sharply frequenc...
متن کاملTone-specific and nonspecific plasticity of the auditory cortex elicited by pseudoconditioning: role of acetylcholine receptors and the somatosensory cortex.
Experience-dependent plastic changes in the central sensory systems are due to activation of both the sensory and neuromodulatory systems. Nonspecific changes of cortical auditory neurons elicited by pseudoconditioning are quite different from tone-specific changes of the neurons elicited by auditory fear conditioning. Therefore the neural circuit evoking the nonspecific changes must also be di...

متن کاملCorticothalamic feedback for sound-specific plasticity of auditory thalamic neurons elicited by tones paired with basal forebrain stimulation.
Recent studies have revealed that the auditory cortex (AC) plays a crucial role in the plastic changes in the physiological properties of subcortical auditory neurons through corticofugal projections. In this study with the C57 mouse, we investigated the receptive field plasticity of the ventral division of the medial geniculate body (MGBv) of the thalamus and the impact of the primary AC using...
