Responses to amplitude modulation in the cochlear nucleus: A hierarchy of enhancement

RD Frisina, RL Smith, SC Chamberlain - The Journal of the Acoustical …, 1984 - pubs.aip.org
Dynamic changes in sound amplitude are prominent features of naturally occurring auditory
stimuli. The neural responses to amplitude‐modulated sounds may play important roles in
speech encoding, pitch perception, and high‐frequency sound localization. Here we report
the results of a single unit study of the cochlear nucleus and auditory nerve of the
anesthetized gerbil. We find that units of the ventral cochlear nucleus exhibit an enhanced
response to amplitude modulation (AM) relative to units of the auditory nerve. This confirms …
