Wide-dynamic-range forward suppression in marmoset inferior colliculus neurons is generated centrally and accounts for perceptual masking.
An organism's ability to detect and discriminate sensory inputs depends on the recent stimulus history. For example, perceptual detection thresholds for a brief tone can be elevated by as much as 50 dB when following a masking stimulus. Previous work suggests that such forward masking is not a direct result of peripheral neural adaptation; the central pathway apparently modifies the representat...
متن کاملIntracellular recording reveals temporal integration in inferior colliculus neurons of awake bats.
The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (IC) is a major integrative center in the central auditory system. It receives information from both the ascending and descending auditory pathways. To determine how single IC neurons integrate information over a wide range of sound frequencies and sound levels, we examined their intracellular responses to frequency-modulated (FM) sounds in awake l...
متن کاملPhase-locked responses to pure tones in the inferior colliculus.
In the auditory system, some ascending pathways preserve the precise timing information present in a temporal code of frequency. This can be measured by studying responses that are phase-locked to the stimulus waveform. At each stage along a pathway, there is a reduction in the upper frequency limit of the phase-locking and an increase in the steady-state latency. In the guinea pig, phase-locke...
متن کاملDistribution of gastrin-releasing peptide/bombesin-like immunoreactive cell bodies and fibres in the brainstem of the cat.
Using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique, the location of gastrin-releasing/bombesin-like immunoreactive fibres and cell bodies in the cat brainstem was studied. A moderate or low density of immunoreactive cell bodies was observed in the nucleus of the brachium of the inferior colliculus, pericentral nucleus of the inferior colliculus, ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus and in the ext...
