Auditory cortical onset responses revisited. I. First-spike timing

Journal of Neurophysiology

Abstract

Sound onsets are salient and behaviorally relevant, and most auditory neurons discharge spikes locked to such transients. The acoustic parameters of sound onsets that shape such onset responses are unknown. In this paper is analyzed the timing of spikes of single neurons in the primary auditory cortex of barbiturate-anesthetized cats to the onsets of tone bursts. By parametric variation of sound pressure level, rise time, and rise function (linear or cosine-squared), the time courses of peak pressure, rate of change of peak pressure, and acceleration of peak pressure during the tones' onsets were systematically varied. For cosine-squared rise function tones of a given frequency and laterality, any neuron's mean first-spike latency was an invariant and inverse function of the maximum acceleration of peak pressure occurring at tone onset. For linear rise function tones, latency was an invariant and inverse function of the rate of change of peak pressure. Thus latency is independent of rise time or sound pressure level per se. Latency-acceleration functions, obtained with cosine-squared rise function tones under different stimulus conditions (frequency, laterality) from any given neuron and across the neuronal pool, were of striki...Continue Reading
