Descending projections from auditory cortex modulate sensitivity in the midbrain to cues for spatial position.
The function of the profuse descending innervation from the auditory cortex is largely unknown; however, recent studies have demonstrated that focal stimulation of auditory cortex effects frequency tuning curves, duration tuning, and other auditory parameters in the inferior colliculus. Here we demonstrate that, in an anesthetized guinea pig, nonfocal deactivation of the auditory cortex alters ...
متن کاملThe ferret auditory cortex: descending projections to the inferior colliculus.
Descending corticofugal projections are thought to play a critical role in shaping the responses of subcortical neurons. Here, we examine the origins and targets of ferret auditory corticocollicular projections. We show that the ectosylvian gyrus (EG), where the auditory cortex is located, can be subdivided into middle, anterior, and posterior regions according to the pattern of cytochrome oxid...
متن کاملConcurrent Repetition Enhancement and Suppression Responses in Extrastriate Visual Cortex
Visual cortical responses are usually attenuated by repetition, a phenomenon known as repetition suppression (RS). Here, we use multivoxel pattern analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to show that RS co-occurs with the converse phenomenon (repetition enhancement, RE) in a single cortical region. We presented human volunteers with short sequences of repeated faces and me...
متن کاملVisual projections induced into the auditory pathway of ferrets: II. Corticocortical connections of primary auditory cortex.
Although the development of corticocortical projections has been well studied, less is known about the role of sensory inputs in the specification of these connections. As part of an ongoing series of studies in our laboratory, we have examined the role of thalamic input modality in the development of corticocortical connections. These studies involve making unilateral lesions and inducing reti...
متن کاملTactile stimulation and hemispheric asymmetries modulate auditory perception and neural responses in primary auditory cortex
Although multisensory integration has been an important area of recent research, most studies focused on audiovisual integration. Importantly, however, the combination of audition and touch can guide our behavior as effectively which we studied here using psychophysics and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We tested whether task-irrelevant tactile stimuli would enhance auditory dete...
