Frequency difference limens of pure tones and harmonics within complex stimuli in Mongolian gerbils and humans.
Frequency difference limens (FDLs) for pure tones between 200 and 6400 Hz and for the first, the second, or the eighth harmonic of an 800 Hz complex in four Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were determined using a Go/NoGo-procedure. The 12 harmonics of the complex started either in sine phase or at a random phase. Gerbils showed very high pure tone FDLs ranging from 17.1% Weber fractio...
متن کاملFrequency difference limens at high frequencies for normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subjects
The smallest detectable change in frequency of a pure tone (the difference limen for frequency, DLF, expressed as ∆f/f) may depend on two mechanisms: a place mechanism based on the filtering within the cochlea [1] and a temporal mechanism based on the patterns of phase locking in the auditory nerve to the “temporal fine structure” (TFS) evoked by the tone [2]. The precision of phase locking wea...
متن کاملEffects of level on nonspectral frequency difference limens for electrical and acoustic stimuli.
The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of stimulus level on discrimination of frequency as represented in the temporal waveforms of acoustic and electrical signals. The subjects were four nonhuman primates in which one ear had been deafened and implanted with an electrode array and the other ear was untreated. Frequency difference limens for 100 Hz electrical sinusoidal stimula...
متن کاملMice Lacking the Alpha9 Subunit of the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Exhibit Deficits in Frequency Difference Limens and Sound Localization
Sound processing in the cochlea is modulated by cholinergic efferent axons arising from medial olivocochlear neurons in the brainstem. These axons contact outer hair cells in the mature cochlea and inner hair cells during development and activate nicotinic acetylcholine receptors composed of α9 and α10 subunits. The α9 subunit is necessary for mediating the effects of acetylcholine on hair cell...
متن کاملHeart rate variability in healthy newborn infants.
In adults and older children, heart rate variability (HRV) is frequently used to study autonomic function noninvasively. Normal values of HRV in newborn infants, however, are not widely available. This problem may be partially attributed to the lack of standardization of different methods. This study assessed HRV in normal newborn infants using 24-hour Holter monitoring. From 1997 to 2000, we p...
