Emergence of invariant representation of vocalizations in the auditory cortex.
An essential task of the auditory system is to discriminate between different communication signals, such as vocalizations. In everyday acoustic environments, the auditory system needs to be capable of performing the discrimination under different acoustic distortions of vocalizations. To achieve this, the auditory system is thought to build a representation of vocalizations that is invariant t...
متن کاملEffect of neuregulin-1 on the auditory cortex in adult C57BL/6J mice
Objective(s): We sought to explore whether neuregulin-1(NRG1) would have a protective effect on the auditory cortices of adult C57BL/6J mice.Materials and Methods: We used RTPCR and Western blot (WB) to detect the expression of NRG1 and ERBB4 (the receptor of NRG1) in the auditory cortices of C57BL/6J mice of different ages (6–8 weeks an...
متن کاملEncoding of ultrasonic vocalizations in the auditory cortex
One of the central tasks of the mammalian auditory system is to represent information about acoustic communicative signals, such as vocalizations. However, the neuronal computations underlying vocalization encoding in the central auditory system are poorly understood. To learn how the rat auditory cortex encodes information about conspecific vocalizations, we presented a library of natural and ...
متن کاملAbstract encoding of auditory objects in cortical activity patterns.
The human brain is thought to process auditory objects along a hierarchical temporal "what" stream that progressively abstracts object information from the low-level structure (e.g., loudness) as processing proceeds along the middle-to-anterior direction. Empirical demonstrations of abstract object encoding, independent of low-level structure, have relied on speech stimuli, and non-speech studi...
متن کاملTitle Effects of spectral and temporal disruption on cortical encoding of gerbil vocalizations Running Head Slow envelopes dominate vocalization encoding in AI Authors
2 3 Animal communication sounds contain spectrotemporal fluctuations which provide 4 powerful cues for detection and discrimination. Human perception of speech is 5 influenced both by spectral and temporal acoustic features, but is most critically 6 dependent on envelope information. To investigate the neural coding principles 7 underlying the perception of communication sounds, we explored the...
