Predictability of STRFs in auditory cortex neurons depends on stimulus class
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this study was to predict neuronal responses based on STRF-estimates for different stimulus sets of primary auditory cortex neurons of Mongolian gerbils. Here we review results from STRF estimations after stimulation with frequency modulated (FM) tones, Dynamic Moving Ripples (DMR), as well as, prediction of responses to logatomes stemming from the Oldenburg Logatome Corpus (OLLO) data set [1]. Our results suggest that it is not merely the similarity of the presented power spectrum of stimuli that leads to better STRF predictions. We will suggest new STRF-approaches to categorize neuronal responses to more natural stimuli.

Improved stimulus representation by short interspike intervals in primary auditory cortex.
We analyzed the receptive field information conveyed by interspike intervals (ISIs) in the auditory cortex. In the visual system, different ISIs may both code for different visual features and convey differing amounts of stimulus information. To determine their potential role in auditory signal processing, we obtained extracellular recordings in the primary auditory cortex (AI) of the cat while...
متن کاملIncreasing spectrotemporal sound density reveals an octave-based organization in cat primary auditory cortex.
Auditory neurons are likely adapted to process complex stimuli, such as vocalizations, which contain spectrotemporal modulations. However, basic properties of auditory neurons are often derived from tone pips presented in isolation, which lack spectrotemporal modulations. In this context, it is unclear how to deduce the functional role of auditory neurons from their tone pip-derived tuning prop...
متن کاملNonlinearities and contextual influences in auditory cortical responses modeled with multilinear spectrotemporal methods.
The relationship between a sound and its neural representation in the auditory cortex remains elusive. Simple measures such as the frequency response area or frequency tuning curve provide little insight into the function of the auditory cortex in complex sound environments. Spectrotemporal receptive field (STRF) models, despite their descriptive potential, perform poorly when used to predict a...
متن کاملProperties of correlated neural activity clusters in cat auditory cortex resemble those of neural assemblies.
Spiking activity was recorded from cat auditory cortex using multi-electrode arrays. Cross-correlograms were calculated for spikes recorded on separate microelectrodes. The pair-wise cross-correlation matrix was constructed for the peak values of the correlograms. Hierarchical clustering was performed on the cross-correlation matrix for six stimulus conditions. These were silence, three multi-t...
متن کاملReceptive field dimensionality increases from the auditory midbrain to cortex.
In the primary auditory cortex, spectrotemporal receptive fields (STRFs) are composed of multiple independent components that capture the processing of disparate stimulus aspects by any given neuron. The origin of these multidimensional stimulus filters in the central auditory system is unknown. To determine whether multicomponent STRFs emerge prior to the forebrain, we recorded from single neu...
