Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of unilateral partial cochlear lesions in adult cats on the representation of lesioned and unlesioned cochleas in primary auditory cortex
TL;DR: Examination of threshold sensitivity at the characteristic frequency in the reorganized regions of the map of the lesioned cochlea established that the changes in the map reflected a plastic reorganization rather than simply reflecting the residue of prelesion input.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multisensory processing via early cortical stages: Connections of the primary auditory cortical field with other sensory systems.
TL;DR: The laminar pattern of corticocortical connections suggests that AI receives primarily cortical feedback-type inputs and projects in a feedforward manner to its target areas, and supports the notion that AI is not merely involved in the analysis of auditory stimulus properties but also in processing of other sensory and multisensory information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory cortical onset responses revisited: I. First-spike timing
TL;DR: The timing of spikes of single neurons in the primary auditory cortex of barbiturate-anesthetized cats to the onsets of tone bursts is analyzed to suggest a peripheral origin of S and a peripheral establishment of latency-acceleration/rate of change of peak pressure functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency and periodicity are represented in orthogonal maps in the human auditory cortex: evidence from magnetoencephalography
TL;DR: For the first time, by means of magnetoencephalography a periodotopic organization of the human auditory cortex is demonstrated and its spatial relationship to the tonotopic organizations is analysed by using a range of stimuli with different temporal envelope fluctuations and spectra and a magnetometer providing high spatial resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-spike latency of auditory neurons revisited.
TL;DR: This work has suggested that codes based on the relative timing of first spikes in ensembles of neurons appear to be easily decodable, energetically efficient, reliable, and fast.
