Local versus global scales of organization in auditory cortex.
Topographic organization is a hallmark of sensory cortical organization. Topography is robust at spatial scales ranging from hundreds of microns to centimeters, but can dissolve at the level of neighboring neurons or subcellular compartments within a neuron. This dichotomous spatial organization is especially pronounced in the mouse auditory cortex, where an orderly tonotopic map can arise from...
متن کاملGlobal versus local processing of frequency-modulated tones in gerbils: an animal model of lateralized auditory cortex functions.
Hemispheric asymmetries of speech and music processing might arise from more basic specializations of left and right auditory cortex (AC). It is not clear, however, whether such asymmetries are unique to humans, i.e., consequences of speech and music, or whether comparable lateralized AC functions exist in nonhuman animals, as evolutionary precursors. Here, we investigated the cortical laterali...
متن کاملFunctional organization of ferret auditory cortex.
We characterized the functional organization of different fields within the auditory cortex of anaesthetized ferrets. As previously reported, the primary auditory cortex, A1, and the anterior auditory field, AAF, are located on the middle ectosylvian gyrus. These areas exhibited a similar tonotopic organization, with high frequencies represented at the dorsal tip of the gyrus and low frequencie...
متن کاملTonotopic organization of human auditory cortex
The organization of tonotopic fields in human auditory cortex was investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Subjects were presented with stochastically alternating multi-tone sequences in six different frequency bands, centered at 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 6400 Hz. Two mirror-symmetric frequency gradients were found extending along an anterior-posterior axis from a zone on ...

brous bands. In addition, some of these ‘layers’ in the avian Wulst and anterior DVR can be subdivided into narrower bands of cells that receive sensory-specific thalamic afferents . We emphasize this latter point because it was Karten’s pioneering work on the telencephalic projections of specific auditory and visual thalamic nuclei [Karten, 1968; Karten and Hodos, 1970] that underlies the data...
