Lesions of the auditory cortex impair azimuthal sound localization and its recalibration in ferrets.
The role of auditory cortex in sound localization and its recalibration by experience was explored by measuring the accuracy with which ferrets turned toward and approached the source of broadband sounds in the horizontal plane. In one group, large bilateral lesions were made of the middle ectosylvian gyrus, where the primary auditory cortical fields are located, and part of the anterior and/or...
متن کاملEffects of altering spectral cues in infancy on horizontal and vertical sound localization by adult ferrets.
We investigated the behavioral consequences of removing the pinna and concha of the external ear bilaterally in infancy on the sound localization ability of adult ferrets. Altering spectral cues in this manner has previously been shown to disrupt the development of the neural representation of auditory space in the superior colliculus. Using broadband noise stimuli, we tested pinnae-removed fer...
متن کاملThe aftereffects of ventriloquism: the time course of the visual recalibration of auditory localization.
Exposure to synchronous but spatially discordant auditory and visual inputs produces adaptive recalibration of the respective localization processes, which manifest themselves in measurable aftereffects. Here we report two experiments that examined the time course of visual recalibration of apparent sound location in order to establish the build-up and dissipation of recalibration. In Experime...
متن کاملSensory recalibration integrates information from the immediate and the cumulative past
Vision usually provides the most accurate and reliable information about the location of objects in our environment, and thus serves as a reference for recalibrating auditory spatial maps. Recent studies have shown that recalibration does not require accumulated evidence of cross-modal mismatch to be triggered, but occurs as soon as after one single exposure. Here we tested whether instantaneou...
متن کاملOlivocochlear efferent control in sound localization and experience-dependent learning.
Efferent auditory pathways have been implicated in sound localization and its plasticity. We examined the role of the olivocochlear system (OC) in horizontal sound localization by the ferret and in localization learning following unilateral earplugging. Under anesthesia, adult ferrets underwent olivocochlear bundle section at the floor of the fourth ventricle, either at the midline or laterally...
