Correlates of Auditory Attention and Task Performance in Primary Auditory and Prefrontal Cortex
Abstract Auditory experience can reshape cortical maps and transform receptive field properties of neurons in the auditory cortex of the adult animal in a manner that depends on the behavioral context and the acoustic features of the stimuli. This has been shown in physiological and behavioral experiments, in which auditory cortical cells underwent rapid, context-dependent changes of their rece...
متن کاملAdaptive changes in cortical receptive fields induced by attention to complex sounds Running Title: Adaptive Changes in Receptive Fields
Receptive fields in primary auditory cortex (A1) can be rapidly and adaptively reshaped to enhance responses to salient frequency cues when using single tones as targets. To explore receptive field changes to more complex spectral patterns, we trained ferrets to detect variable, multi-tone targets in the context of background, rippled noise. Recordings from A1 of behaving ferrets showed a consi...
متن کاملPerceptual learning directs auditory cortical map reorganization through top-down influences.
The primary sensory cortex is positioned at a confluence of bottom-up dedicated sensory inputs and top-down inputs related to higher-order sensory features, attentional state, and behavioral reinforcement. We tested whether topographic map plasticity in the adult primary auditory cortex and a secondary auditory area, the suprarhinal auditory field, was controlled by the statistics of bottom-up ...
متن کاملActive listening: task-dependent plasticity of spectrotemporal receptive fields in primary auditory cortex.
Listening is an active process in which attentive focus on salient acoustic features in auditory tasks can influence receptive field properties of cortical neurons. Recent studies showing rapid task-related changes in neuronal spectrotemporal receptive fields (STRFs) in primary auditory cortex of the behaving ferret are reviewed in the context of current research on cortical plasticity. Ferrets...
