Laminar diversity of dynamic sound processing in cat primary auditory cortex.
For primary auditory cortex (AI) laminae, there is little evidence of functional specificity despite clearly expressed cellular and connectional differences. Natural sounds are dominated by dynamic temporal and spectral modulations and we used these properties to evaluate local functional differences or constancies across laminae. To examine the layer-specific processing of acoustic modulation ...
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 کاملThe posterior field P of cat auditory cortex: coding of envelope transients.
The posterior field (P) of the cat auditory cortex contains a very high proportion of neurons whose responses change non-monotonically with the sound pressure level (SPL) of tonal stimuli, leading to circumscribed frequency-SPL response areas, and it has therefore been suggested that field P may be specialized for processing of sound intensity. We demonstrate here a great diversity of response ...
متن کاملSelective deficits in human audition: evidence from lesion studies
The human auditory cortex is the gateway to the most powerful and complex communication systems and yet relatively little is known about its functional organization as compared to the visual system. Several lines of evidence, predominantly from recent studies, indicate that sound recognition and sound localization are processed in two at least partially independent networks. Evidence from human...
