Response properties of single neurons in the zebra finch auditory midbrain: response patterns, frequency coding, intensity coding, and spike latencies.
The avian mesencephalicus lateralis, dorsalis (MLd) is the auditory midbrain nucleus in which multiple parallel inputs from lower brain stem converge and through which most auditory information passes to reach the forebrain. Auditory processing in the MLd has not been investigated in songbirds. We studied the tuning properties of single MLd neurons in adult male zebra finches. Pure tones were u...
متن کاملArray imaging using intensity-only measurements
We introduce a new approach for narrow band array imaging of localized scatterers from intensity-only measurements by considering the possibility of reconstructing the positions and reflectivities of the scatterers exactly from only partial knowledge of the array data, since we assume that phase information is not available. We reformulate this intensity-only imaging problem as a non-convex opt...
متن کاملUnbalanced synaptic inhibition can create intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons.
Intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons have spike rates that are nonmonotonic functions of sound intensity: their spike rate initially increases and peaks as sound intensity is increased, then decreases as sound intensity is further increased. They are either "unbalanced," receiving disproportionally large synaptic inhibition at high sound intensities; or "balanced," receiving intensity-tuned ...
متن کاملTemporal coding by populations of auditory receptor neurons.
Auditory receptor neurons of crickets are most sensitive to either low or high sound frequencies. Earlier work showed that the temporal coding properties of first-order auditory interneurons are matched to the temporal characteristics of natural low- and high-frequency stimuli (cricket songs and bat echolocation calls, respectively). We studied the temporal coding properties of receptor neurons...
متن کاملSpeech coding and information processing by auditory neurons
One fundamental difference between information processing in the auditory pathway and automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems lies in the coding and processing of nerve-action potentials. Spike trains code amplitude information by means of a rate-code but most information is carried by precise spike timing. In this paper we focus on neurons located in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN), whic...
