Dual Mechanism of Neuronal Ensemble Inhibition in Primary Auditory Cortex
Inhibition plays an essential role in shaping and refining the brain's representation of sensory stimulus attributes. In primary auditory cortex (A1), so-called "sideband" inhibition helps to sharpen the tuning of local neuronal responses. Several distinct types of anatomical circuitry could underlie sideband inhibition, including direct thalamocortical (TC) afferents, as well as indirect intra...
متن کاملNeuronal Oscillations and Multisensory Interaction in Primary Auditory Cortex
Recent anatomical, physiological, and neuroimaging findings indicate multisensory convergence at early, putatively unisensory stages of cortical processing. The objective of this study was to confirm somatosensory-auditory interaction in A1 and to define both its physiological mechanisms and its consequences for auditory information processing. Laminar current source density and multiunit activ...
متن کاملThe role of the primary auditory cortex in the neural mechanism of auditory verbal hallucinations
Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are a subjective experience of "hearing voices" in the absence of corresponding physical stimulation in the environment. The most remarkable feature of AVHs is their perceptual quality, that is, the experience is subjectively often as vivid as hearing an actual voice, as opposed to mental imagery or auditory memories. This has lead to propositions that dysr...
متن کاملNeuronal Adaptation in Cat Auditory Cortex
Neuronal adaptation – the decline over time of neuronal responses to sensory stimuli – is ubiquitous in all sensory brain areas, especially in the cortex. Adaptation has been implicated in several functional roles, mostly related to the ability of adaptation to improve the neural coding of new incoming stimuli, given a certain stimulus ensemble. Thus, adaptation has been shown to optimize infor...
متن کاملInhibition in the Human Auditory Cortex
Despite their indispensable roles in sensory processing, little is known about inhibitory interneurons in humans. Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials cannot be recorded non-invasively, at least in a pure form, in humans. We herein sought to clarify whether prepulse inhibition (PPI) in the auditory cortex reflected inhibition via interneurons using magnetoencephalography. An abrupt increase in so...
