Abstract

Four subjects were tested in a two-alternative, forced-choice, three down-one up adaptive paradigm in which two 200-ms signals were presented sequentially with a 200-ms interstimulus interval. The subject's task was to indicate whether the second stimulus was to the right or left of the first. Tests were conducted with 57 dB (A-weighted), 1.0-kHz high-pass noise, the minimum audible angle (MAA) task, and with lights emitting 620 nm at a luminance level of 200 mL, the minimum visible angle (MVA) task. Localization performance in the MAA task was equal to or better than that obtained in the MVA task for all regions of the frontal field with only one exception, presentations at 0 degrees azimuth. The implications of these results are discussed.

Calretinin expression in the chick brainstem auditory nuclei develops and is maintained independently of cochlear nerve input.

The expression of the calcium-binding protein calretinin (CR) in the chick brainstem auditory nuclei angularis (NA), laminaris (NL), and magnocelularis (NM) was studied during normal development and after deafening by surgical removal of the otocyst (embryonic precursor of the inner ear) or columella (middle ear ossicle). CR mRNA was localized by in situ hybridization by using a radiolabeled oligonucleotide chick CR probe. CR immunoreactivity (CR-IR) was localized on adjacent tissue sections. CR mRNA signal in the auditory nuclei was expressed at comparable levels at embryonic day (E)9 and E11 and increased thereafter to reach the highest levels in posthatch chicks. CR-IR neurons were apparent in NM and NA at E11 and in NL by E13, and CR-IR increased in all three auditory nuclei thereafter. Neither unilateral nor bilateral otocyst removal caused detectable changes in the intensity of CR mRNA expression or CR-IR in the auditory nuclei at any of the several ages examined. Similarly, columella removal at posthatching day 2 or 3 failed to significantly affect CR mRNA or CR-IR levels at 3 hours, 1 day, or 3-4 days survival times. We conclude that cochlear nerve input is not necessary for expression of either calretinin mRNA or protein and that the profound decrease in sound-evoked activity caused by columella removal does not affect the maintenance of CR expression after hatching.

A nonrandom dynamic component in the synaptic noise of a central neuron.

Continuous segments of synaptic noise were recorded in vivo from teleost Mauthner cells and were studied with the methods of nonlinear analysis. As in many central neurons, this ongoing activity is dominated by consecutive inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. Recurrence plots and first or third order Poincaré maps combined with surrogate shuffling revealed nonrandom patterns consistent with the notion that synaptic noise is a continuously varying mixture of periodic and chaotic phases. Chaos was further demonstrated by the occurrence of unstable periodic orbits. The nonrandom component of the noise is reproducibly and persistently reduced when the level of background sound, a natural stimulus for networks afferent to the Mauthner cell, is briefly elevated. These data are consistent with a model involving a reciprocally connected inhibitory network, presynaptic to the Mauthner cell and its intrinsic properties. The presence of chaos in the inhibitory synaptic noise that regulates the excitability of the Mauthner cell and its sensitivity to external stimuli suggests that it modulates this neuron's function, namely to trigger a fast escape motor reaction following unexpected sensory information.

Serial and parallel processing in rhesus monkey auditory cortex.

Auditory cortex on the exposed supratemporal plane in four anesthetized rhesus monkeys was mapped electrophysiologically with both pure-tone (PT) and broad-band complex sounds. The mapping confirmed the existence of at least three tonotopic areas. Primary auditory cortex, AI, was then aspirated, and the remainder of the cortex on the supratemporal plane was remapped. PT-responses in the caudomedial area, CM, were abolished in all animals but one, in which they were restricted to the high-frequency range. Some CM sites were still responsive to complex stimuli. In contrast to the effects on CM, no significant changes were detectable in the rostral area, R. After mapping cortex in four additional monkeys, injections were made with different tracers into matched best-frequency regions of AI, R, and CM. Injections in AI and R led to retrograde labeling of neurons in all three subdivisions of the medial geniculate (MG) nucleus (MGv, MGd, and MGm), as well as nuclei outside MG, whereas CM injections led to only sparse labeling of neurons in a restricted zone of the lateral MGd and, possibly, MGm, in addition to labeling in non-MG sites. The combined results suggest that MGv sends direct projections in parallel to areas AI and R, which drive PT-responses in both areas. PT-responses in area CM, however, appear to be driven by input relayed serially from AI. The direct input to CM from MGd and other thalamic nuclei may thus be capable of mediating responses only to broad-band sounds.
