Active 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...
متن کاملSpectrotemporal contrast kernels for neurons in primary auditory cortex.
Auditory neurons are often described in terms of their spectrotemporal receptive fields (STRFs). These map the relationship between features of the sound spectrogram and firing rates of neurons. Recently, we showed that neurons in the primary fields of the ferret auditory cortex are also subject to gain control: when sounds undergo smaller fluctuations in their level over time, the neurons beco...
متن کاملNonlinear spectrotemporal interactions underlying selectivity for complex sounds in auditory cortex.
In the auditory cortex of awake animals, a substantial number of neurons do not respond to pure tones. These neurons have historically been classified as "unresponsive" and even been speculated as being nonauditory. We discovered, however, that many of these neurons in the primary auditory cortex (A1) of awake marmoset monkeys were in fact highly selective for complex sound features. We then in...
متن کاملThe Effects of Background Noise on the Neural Responses to Natural Sounds in Cat Primary Auditory Cortex
Animal vocalizations in natural settings are invariably accompanied by an acoustic background with a complex statistical structure. We have previously demonstrated that neuronal responses in primary auditory cortex of halothane-anesthetized cats depend strongly on the natural background. Here, we study in detail the neuronal responses to the background sounds and their relationships to the resp...
متن کاملDifferences between primary auditory cortex and auditory belt related to encoding and choice for AM sounds.
We recorded from middle-lateral (ML) and primary (A1) auditory cortex while macaques discriminated amplitude-modulated (AM) noise from unmodulated noise. Compared with A1, ML had a higher proportion of neurons that encoded increasing AM depth by decreasing their firing rates ("decreasing" neurons), particularly with responses that were not synchronized to the modulation. Choice probability (CP)...
