Development of inhibitory timescales in auditory cortex

AMM Oswald, AD Reyes - Cerebral Cortex, 2011 - academic.oup.com
The time course of inhibition plays an important role in cortical sensitivity, tuning, and
temporal response properties. We investigated the development of L2/3 inhibitory circuitry …

Functional organization and population dynamics in the mouse primary auditory cortex

G Rothschild, I Nelken, A Mizrahi - Nature neuroscience, 2010 - nature.com

individual response profiles. However, the functional organization and dynamics of local …

The effects of stimuli on the activity and functional connectivity of local neuronal groups in the cat auditory cortex

RD Frostig, Y Gottlieb, E Vaadia, M Abeles - Brain research, 1983 - Elsevier
Simultaneous extracellular recordings from one electrode of 'local'groups of 3–6 neurons
were obtained from the auditory cortex of unanesthetized, paralyzed cats. The activity and …

Unbalanced synaptic inhibition can create intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons

AYY Tan, CA Atencio, DB Polley, MM Merzenich… - Neuroscience, 2007 - Elsevier
Intensity-tuned auditory cortex neurons have spike rates that are nonmonotonic functions of
sound intensity: their spike rate initially increases and peaks as sound intensity is increased …

Synaptic mechanisms underlying auditory processing

AMM Oswald, ML Schiff, AD Reyes - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2006 - Elsevier
In vivo voltage clamp recordings have provided new insights into the synaptic mechanisms
that underlie processing in the primary auditory cortex. Of particular importance are the …

Transient subgranular hyperconnectivity to L2/3 and enhanced pairwise correlations during the critical period in the mouse auditory cortex

X Meng, K Solarana, Z Bowen, J Liu… - Cerebral …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
