A temperature rise reduces trial-to-trial variability of locust auditory neuron responses.
The neurophysiology of ectothermic animals, such as insects, is affected by environmental temperature, as their body temperature fluctuates with ambient conditions. Changes in temperature alter properties of neurons and, consequently, have an impact on the processing of information. Nevertheless, nervous system function is often maintained over a broad temperature range, exhibiting a surprising...
متن کاملFast Odor Learning Improves Reliability of Odor Responses in the Locust Antennal Lobe
Recordings in the locust antennal lobe (AL) reveal activity-dependent, stimulus-specific changes in projection neuron (PN) and local neuron response patterns over repeated odor trials. During the first few trials, PN response intensity decreases, while spike time precision increases, and coherent oscillations, absent at first, quickly emerge. We examined this "fast odor learning" with a realist...
متن کاملBinary spiking in auditory cortex.
Neurons are often assumed to operate in a highly unreliable manner: a neuron can signal the same stimulus with a variable number of action potentials. However, much of the experimental evidence supporting this view was obtained in the visual cortex. We have, therefore, assessed trial-to-trial variability in the auditory cortex of the rat. To ensure single-unit isolation, we used cell-attached r...
متن کاملAdaptation reduces spike-count reliability, but not spike-timing precision, of auditory nerve responses.
Sensory systems use adaptive coding mechanisms to filter redundant information from the environment to efficiently represent the external world. One such mechanism found in most sensory neurons is rate adaptation, defined as a reduction in firing rate in response to a constant stimulus. In auditory nerve, this form of adaptation is likely mediated by exhaustion of release-ready synaptic vesicle...
متن کاملBinary Coding in Auditory Cortex
Cortical neurons have been reported to use both rate and temporal codes. Here we describe a novel mode in which each neuron generates exactly 0 or 1 action potentials, but not more, in response to a stimulus. We used cell-attached recording, which ensured single-unit isolation, to record responses in rat auditory cortex to brief tone pips. Surprisingly, the majority of neurons exhibited binary ...
