The Reorganization of Primary Auditory Cortex by Invasion of Ectopic Visual Inputs
Brain injury is a serious clinical problem. The success of recovery from brain injury involves functional compensation in the affected brain area. We are interested in general mechanisms that underlie compensatory plasticity after brain damage, particularly when multiple brain areas or multiple modalities are included. In this thesis, I studied the function of auditory cortex after recovery fro...
متن کاملDisruption of primary auditory cortex by synchronous auditory inputs during a critical period.
In the primary auditory cortex (AI), the development of tone frequency selectivity and tonotopic organization is influenced by patterns of neural activity. Introduction of synchronous inputs into the auditory pathway achieved by exposing rat pups to pulsed white noise at a moderate intensity during P9-P28 resulted in a disrupted tonotopicity and degraded frequency-response selectivity for neuro...
متن کاملA map of visual space induced in primary auditory cortex.
Maps of sensory surfaces are a fundamental feature of sensory cortical areas of the brain. The relative roles of afferents and targets in forming neocortical maps in higher mammals can be examined in ferrets in which retinal inputs are directed into the auditory pathway. In these animals, the primary auditory cortex contains a systematic representation of the retina (and of visual space) rather...
متن کاملAuditory memory function in expert chess players
Background: Chess is a game that involves many aspects of high level cognition such as memory, attention, focus and problem solving. Long term practice of chess can improve cognition performances and behavioral skills. Auditory memory, as a kind of memory, can be influenced by strengthening processes following long term chess playing like other behavioral skills because of common processing pat...
متن کاملCompetition and convergence between auditory and cross - modal visual inputs to 12 primary auditory cortical areas
42 Sensory neocortex is capable of considerable plasticity after sensory deprivation or damage to 43 input pathways, especially early in development. Although plasticity can often be restorative, 44 sometimes novel, ectopic inputs invade the affected cortical area. Invading inputs from other 45 sensory modalities may compromise the original function or even take over, imposing a new 46 function...
