An analysis of the time course of gustatory neural adaptation in the rat.
Neural responses were recorded from the rat chorda tympani nerve following stimulation of the tongue with several concentrations of NaCl. These responses were integrated using a fast time constant (47 ms), and the time course of the decline in neural discharge from the peak of the transient response was computer analyzed. The time course of the adaptation process was described by a constant ter...
متن کاملTime Course of Adaptation Along the RG Cardinal Axis
We examine how the RG cardinal mechanism adapts to a shift from one spatially uniform field to another. A probe-flash paradigm allowed the response to be estimated at an initial adaptation state, an end adaptation state, and four intermediate time conditions. The threshold curves were higher and flatter in the intermediate conditions than at the beginning and end of adaptation. The intermediate...
متن کاملTime course of chromatic adaptation for color appearance and discrimination
Adaptation to a steady background has a profound effect on both color appearance and discrimination. We determined the temporal characteristics of chromatic adaptation for appearance and discrimination along different color directions. Subjects were adapted to a large uniform background made up of a CRT screen and a 45x64 degrees wall, illuminated by computer controlled lamps. After an instant ...
متن کاملTime course of dynamic range adaptation in the auditory nerve.
Auditory adaptation to sound-level statistics occurs as early as in the auditory nerve (AN), the first stage of neural auditory processing. In addition to firing rate adaptation characterized by a rate decrement dependent on previous spike activity, AN fibers show dynamic range adaptation, which is characterized by a shift of the rate-level function or dynamic range toward the most frequently o...
متن کاملTime course and action spectrum of vibrotactile adaptation.
In a series of experiments designed to explore the processes underlying adaptation of the sense of flutter-vibration, vibrotactile threshold was measured on the pad of the index finger, using Békésy tracking. Unadapted thresholds were first measured, for a number of frequencies (4-90 Hz) and contactor sizes (1-8 mm diameter). As expected, these measurements indicated the presence of (1) a Pacin...
