Two thalamic pathways to primary auditory cortex.
Neurons in the center of cat primary auditory cortex (AI) respond to a narrow range of sound frequencies and the preferred frequencies in local neuron clusters are closely aligned in this central narrow bandwidth region (cNB). Response preferences to other input parameters, such as sound intensity and binaural interaction, vary within cNB; however, the source of this variability is unknown. Her...
متن کاملcortical auditory temporal processing abilities in elderly listeners
background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...
متن کاملEffects of cortical inactivation and stimulation on thalamic processing
The thalamus is the main sensory input to the cerebral cortex, not only for auditory stimuli, but also for visual and somatosensory stimuli (Alitto and Usrey, 2003). On the other hand, approximately half of the neuron input to the dorsal thalamus come from the cortex. These corticothalamic feedback connections seem to be important for sensory processing in the visual, auditory and somatosensory...
متن کاملThalamic contribution to cortical processing of taste and expectation.
Taste-related information reaches the gustatory cortex (GC) through two routes: a thalamic and a limbic pathway. While evidence is accumulating on limbic-cortical interactions in taste, very little information is available on the function of the gustatory thalamus in shaping GC activity. Here we rely on behavioral electrophysiological techniques to study taste-evoked activity in GC before and a...
متن کاملLocation of Thalamic Neurons Mediating Vestibulo-Cortical Pathways in Cats
This study was aimed at examining vestibulo-thalamo-cortical pathways in anesthetized cats. Thirty-six neurons, which were activated by pitch rotation and contralateral labyrinth stimulation, were recorded in the following areas: the ventral posterolateral nucleus, the ventral posteromedial nucleus, the lateroposterior nucleus and the magnocellular nucleus of the medial geniculate body (MGmc) o...
