Visual influences on ferret auditory cortex
Multisensory neurons are now known to be widespread in low-level regions of the cortex usually thought of as being responsible for modality-specific processing. The auditory cortex provides a particularly striking example of this, exhibiting responses to both visual and somatosensory stimulation. Single-neuron recording studies in ferrets have shown that each of auditory fields that have been c...
متن کاملFunctional organization of ferret auditory cortex.
We characterized the functional organization of different fields within the auditory cortex of anaesthetized ferrets. As previously reported, the primary auditory cortex, A1, and the anterior auditory field, AAF, are located on the middle ectosylvian gyrus. These areas exhibited a similar tonotopic organization, with high frequencies represented at the dorsal tip of the gyrus and low frequencie...
متن کاملCortico‐cortical connectivity within ferret auditory cortex
Despite numerous studies of auditory cortical processing in the ferret (Mustela putorius), very little is known about the connections between the different regions of the auditory cortex that have been characterized cytoarchitectonically and physiologically. We examined the distribution of retrograde and anterograde labeling after injecting tracers into one or more regions of ferret auditory co...
متن کاملVisual influences on auditory spatial learning
The visual and auditory systems frequently work together to facilitate the identification and localization of objects and events in the external world. Experience plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining congruent visual-auditory associations, so that the different sensory cues associated with targets that can be both seen and heard are synthesized appropriately. For stimulus locat...
متن کاملSegregation of ON and OFF afferents to ferret visual cortex.
1. ON-center and OFF-center cells are found in separate sublaminae of the ferret's lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether this segregation is maintained in the projection from the LGN to primary visual cortex (area 17). 2. The distribution of the geniculocortical afferents within area 17 was studied by recording in layer IV after cortical neu...
