Brief Sounds Evoke Prolonged Responses in Anesthetized Ferret Auditory Cortex
Neurons in the auditory cortex of anesthetized animals are generally considered to generate phasic responses to simple stimuli such as tones or noise bursts. In this paper, we show that under ketamine/medetomidine anesthesia, neurons in ferret auditory cortex usually exhibit complex sustained responses. We presented 100-ms broad-band noise bursts at a range of interaural level differences (ILDs...
متن کاملOptical imaging of intrinsic signals in ferret auditory cortex: responses to narrowband sound stimuli.
This paper describes optical imaging of the auditory cortex in the anesthetized ferret, particularly addressing optimization of narrowband stimuli. The types of sound stimuli used were tone-pip trains and sinusoidal frequency and amplitude modulated (SFM and SAM) tones. By employing short illumination wavelengths (546 nm), we have successfully characterized the tonotopic arrangement, in agreeme...
متن کاملComparison of responses in the anterior and primary auditory fields of the ferret cortex.
1. Characteristics of an anterior auditory field (AAF) in the ferret auditory cortex are described in terms of its electrophysiological responses to tonal stimuli and compared with those of primary auditory cortex (AI). Ferrets were barbiturate-anesthetized and tungsten microelectrodes were used to record single-unit responses from both AI and AAF fields. Units in both areas were presented with...
متن کاملTemporal nonlinearity during recovery from sequential inhibition by neurons in the cat primary auditory cortex.
Auditory stimuli occur most often in sequences rather than in isolation. It is therefore necessary to understand how responses to sounds occurring in sequences differ from responses to isolated sounds. Cells in primary auditory cortex (AI) respond to a large set of binaural stimuli when presented in isolation. The set of responses to such stimuli presented at one frequency comprises a level res...
متن کاملAcute Inactivation of Primary Auditory Cortex Causes a Sound Localisation Deficit in Ferrets
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of acute inactivation of brain areas by cooling in the behaving ferret and to demonstrate that cooling auditory cortex produced a localisation deficit that was specific to auditory stimuli. The effect of cooling on neural activity was measured in anesthetized ferret cortex. The behavioural effect of cooling was determined in a benchmar...
