Columnar 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 کاملLaminar 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 ...

We gratefully thank the late Jeffery A. 22 Winer for comments on the manuscript, and for assistance from his lab with histological 23 processing. This work was supported by Nationa...
متن کاملLaminar processing of stimulus orientation in cat visual cortex.
One of the most salient features to emerge in visual cortex is sensitivity to stimulus orientation. Here we asked if orientation selectivity, once established, is altered by successive stages of cortical processing. We measured patterns of orientation selectivity at all depths of the cat's visual cortex by making whole-cell recordings with dye-filled electrodes. Our results show that the synapt...
متن کاملEvidence for hierarchical processing in cat auditory cortex: nonreciprocal influence of primary auditory cortex on the posterior auditory field.
The auditory cortex of the cat is composed of 13 distinct fields that have been defined on the basis of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Although an anatomically based hierarchical processing scheme has been proposed in auditory cortex, few functional studies have examined how these areas influence one another. The purpose of the present study was to examine the bidirectional processing contr...
