Dynamics of precise spike timing in primary auditory cortex

M Elhilali, JB Fritz, DJ Klein, JZ Simon… - Journal of …, 2004 - Soc Neuroscience
Although single units in primary auditory cortex (A1) exhibit accurate timing in their phasic
response to the onset of sound (precision of a few milliseconds), paradoxically, they are …

[HTML][HTML] Rhythmic auditory cortex activity at multiple timescales shapes stimulus–response gain and background firing

C Kayser, C Wilson, H Safaai, S Sakata… - Journal of …, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
The phase of low-frequency network activity in the auditory cortex captures changes in
neural excitability, entrains to the temporal structure of natural sounds, and correlates with …

Rapid synaptic depression explains nonlinear modulation of spectro-temporal tuning in primary auditory cortex by natural stimuli

SV David, N Mesgarani, JB Fritz… - Journal of …, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
In this study, we explored ways to account more accurately for responses of neurons in
primary auditory cortex (A1) to natural sounds. The auditory cortex has evolved to extract …

Increasing spectrotemporal sound density reveals an octave-based organization in cat primary auditory cortex

AJ Noreña, B Gourévitch, M Pienkowski… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Auditory neurons are likely adapted to process complex stimuli, such as vocalizations, which
contain spectrotemporal modulations. However, basic properties of auditory neurons are …

Millisecond encoding precision of auditory cortex neurons

C Kayser, NK Logothetis… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Neurons in auditory cortex are central to our perception of sounds. However, the underlying
neural codes, and the relevance of millisecond-precise spike timing in particular, remain …

Dynamic spectrotemporal feature selectivity in the auditory midbrain

NA Lesica, B Grothe - Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
The transformation of auditory information from the cochlea to the cortex is a highly

Generation of spike latency tuning by thalamocortical circuits in auditory cortex

Y Zhou, L Mesik, YJ Sun, F Liang, Z Xiao… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
In many sensory systems, the latency of spike responses of individual neurons is found to be
tuned for stimulus features and proposed to be used as a coding strategy. Whether the spike …

Coding of amplitude modulation in primary auditory cortex

P Yin, JS Johnson, KN O'Connor… - Journal of …, 2011 - journals.physiology.org
Conflicting results have led to different views about how temporal modulation is encoded in
primary auditory cortex (A1). Some studies find a substantial population of neurons that …

Processing of sounds by population spikes in a model of primary auditory cortex

A Loebel, I Nelken, M Tsodyks - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2007 - frontiersin.org
We propose a model of the primary auditory cortex (A1), in which each iso-frequency column
is represented by a recurrent neural network with short-term synaptic depression. Such …

An oscillatory hierarchy controlling neuronal excitability and stimulus processing in the auditory cortex

P Lakatos, AS Shah, KH Knuth… - Journal of …, 2005 - journals.physiology.org
EEG oscillations are hypothesized to reflect cyclical variations in the neuronal excitability,
with particular frequency bands reflecting differing spatial scales of brain operation …
