Timing of spike discharges in cat auditory cortex neurons: implications for encoding of stimulus periodicity

DP Phillips - Hearing research, 1989 - Elsevier
Neurons at more central stations in the central auditory pathway show progressively poorer
responses to high-frequency stimulus periodicities. This has been attributed to the relatively …
