Multisensory processing in "unimodal" neurons: cross-modal subthreshold auditory effects in cat extrastriate visual cortex.
Historically, the study of multisensory processing has examined the function of the definitive neuron type, the bimodal neuron. These neurons are excited by inputs from more than one sensory modality, and when multisensory stimuli are present, they can integrate their responses in a predictable manner. However, recent studies have revealed that multisensory processing in the cortex is not restr...
متن کاملColumnar Connectivity and Laminar Processing in Cat Primary Auditory Cortex
BACKGROUND Radial intra- and interlaminar connections form a basic microcircuit in primary auditory cortex (AI) that extracts acoustic information and distributes it to cortical and subcortical networks. Though the structure of this microcircuit is known, we do not know how the functional connectivity between layers relates to laminar processing. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We studied the ...
متن کاملAuditory-somatosensory multisensory processing in auditory association cortex: an fMRI study.
Using high-field (3 Tesla) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we demonstrate that auditory and somatosensory inputs converge in a subregion of human auditory cortex along the superior temporal gyrus. Further, simultaneous stimulation in both sensory modalities resulted in activity exceeding that predicted by summing the responses to the unisensory inputs, thereby showing multisensory...
متن کاملEvidence for hierarchical processing in cat auditory cortex: nonreciprocal influence of primary auditory cortex on the posterior auditory field.
The auditory cortex of the cat is composed of 13 distinct fields that have been defined on the basis of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Although an anatomically based hierarchical processing scheme has been proposed in auditory cortex, few functional studies have examined how these areas influence one another. The purpose of the present study was to examine the bidirectional processing contr...
متن کاملSound frequency representation in cat auditory cortex.
Using the intrinsic signal optical recording technique, we reconstructed the two-dimensional pattern of stimulus-evoked neuronal activities in the auditory cortex of anesthetized and paralyzed cats. The average magnitude of intrinsic signal in response to a pure tone stimulus increased steadily as the sound pressure level increased. A detailed analysis demonstrated that the evoked signals at ea...
