Functional congruity in local auditory cortical microcircuits

Neuroscience
Craig A Atencio, Christoph E Schreiner

Abstract

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 these local subnetworks have only begun to be assessed. We examined the functional diversity of neurons within the laminar microarchitecture of cat AI to determine the relationship of spectrotemporal processing between neighboring neurons. Neuronal activity was recorded across the cortical layers while presenting a dynamically modulated broadband noise. Spectrotemporal receptive fields (STRFs) and their nonlinear input/output functions (nonlinearities) were constructed for each neuron and compared for pairs of neurons simultaneously recorded at the same contact site. Properties of these local neuron pairs showed greater similarity than non-paired neurons within the same column for all considered parameters including firing rate, envelope-phase precision, preferred spectral and temporal modulation frequency, as well as for the threshold and transition of the response nonlinearity. This higher functional similarity of paired versus non-paired neurons was most apparent in infragranular neuron pairs, and less for local supragranular and granular pairs...Continue Reading
