Task engagement selectively modulates neural correlations in primary auditory cortex.
Noise correlations (r(noise)) between neurons can affect a neural population's discrimination capacity, even without changes in mean firing rates of neurons. r(noise), the degree to which the response variability of a pair of neurons is correlated, has been shown to change with attention with most reports showing a reduction in r(noise). However, the effect of reducing r(noise) on sensory discr...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Task Switching in Prefrontal Cortex and Primary Auditory Cortex in a Novel Stimulus Selection Task for Rodents
Animals can selectively respond to a target sound despite simultaneous distractors, just as humans can respond to one voice at a crowded cocktail party. To investigate the underlying neural mechanisms, we recorded single-unit activity in primary auditory cortex (A1) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of rats selectively responding to a target sound from a mixture. We found that prestimulus act...
متن کاملTask Engagement in Songbird Auditory Forebrain
27 Sensory systems are dynamic. They must process a wide range of natural signals that facilitate 28 adaptive behaviors in a manner that depends on an organism’s constantly changing goals. A full 29 understanding of the sensory physiology that underlies adaptive natural behaviors must therefore 30 account for the activity of sensory systems in light of these behavioral goals. Here, we present a...
متن کاملMeasuring the dynamics of neural responses in primary auditory cortex
We review recent developments in the measurement of the dynamics of the response properties of auditory cortical neurons to broadband sounds, which is closely related to the perception of timbre. The emphasis is on a method that characterizes the spectro-temporal properties of single neurons to dynamic, broadband sounds, akin to the drifting gratings used in vision. The method treats the spectr...
متن کاملContralateral white noise selectively changes left human auditory cortex activity in a lexical decision task.
In a previous study, we hypothesized that the approach of presenting information-bearing stimuli to one ear and noise to the other ear may be a general strategy to determine hemispheric specialization in auditory cortex (AC). In that study, we confirmed the dominant role of the right AC in directional categorization of frequency modulations by showing that fMRI activation of right but not left ...
