Information diversity in individual auditory cortical neurons is associated with functionally distinct coordinated neuronal ensembles

JZ See, NY Homma, CA Atencio, VS Sohal… - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Neuronal activity in auditory cortex is often highly synchronous between neighboring
neurons. Such coordinated activity is thought to be crucial for information processing. We …

Coordinated neuronal ensembles in primary auditory cortical columns

JZ See, CA Atencio, VS Sohal, CE Schreiner - Elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
The synchronous activity of groups of neurons is increasingly thought to be important in
cortical information processing and transmission. However, most studies of processing in the …

An emergent population code in primary auditory cortex supports selective attention to spectral and temporal sound features

JD Downer, JR Verhein, BC Rapone… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
Textbook descriptions of primary sensory cortex (PSC) revolve around single neurons'
representation of low-dimensional sensory features, such as visual object orientation in …

Diversity in excitation-inhibition mismatch underlies local functional heterogeneity in the rat auditory cortex

C Tao, G Zhang, C Zhou, L Wang, S Yan, HW Tao… - Cell reports, 2017 - cell.com
Cortical neurons are heterogeneous in their functional properties. This heterogeneity is
fundamental for the processing of different features of sensory information. However …

Differential modulation of cortical codes for sounds of varying intensity by distinct inhibitory neurons

M Tobin, J Sheth, KC Wood, EK Michel, MN Geffen - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Cortical circuits contain multiple types of inhibitory neurons which shape how information is
processed within neuronal networks. Here, we asked whether somatostatin-expressing …

Auditory cortical local subnetworks are characterized by sharply synchronous activity

CA Atencio, CE Schreiner - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
In primary auditory cortex (AI), broadly correlated firing has been commonly observed. In
contrast, sharply synchronous firing has rarely been seen and has not been well …

How do neurons work together? Lessons from auditory cortex

KD Harris, P Bartho, P Chadderton, C Curto… - Hearing research, 2011 - Elsevier
Recordings of single neurons have yielded great insights into the way acoustic stimuli are
represented in auditory cortex. However, any one neuron functions as part of a population …

Functional congruity in local auditory cortical microcircuits

CA Atencio, CE Schreiner - Neuroscience, 2016 - Elsevier
Functional columns of primary auditory cortex (AI) are arranged in layers, each composed of
highly connected fine-scale networks. The basic response properties and interactions within …

Separate functional subnetworks of excitatory neurons show preference to periodic and random sound structures

M Mehra, A Mukesh… - Journal of Neuroscience, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
Auditory cortex (ACX) neurons are sensitive to spectro-temporal sound patterns and
violations in patterns induced by rare stimuli embedded within streams of sounds. We …

Basic Properties of Coordinated Neuronal Ensembles in the Auditory Thalamus

C Hu, AR Hasenstaub, CE Schreiner - Journal of Neuroscience, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Coordinated neuronal activity has been identified to play an important role in information
processing and transmission in the brain. However, current research predominantly focuses …
