Frequency representation in auditory cortex of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus jacchus) by Lindsay M. Aitkin; Michael M. Merzenich; Dexter R. F. Irvine; Janine C. Clarey; John E. Nelson is a Neuroscience article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Frequency representation in auditory cortex of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus jacchus) about?
The location and characteristics of the primary auditory cortex of the common marmoset, Callithrix jacchus jacchus, were determined in five anesthetized male adult animals by mapping the responses of cortical units and unit clusters to pure tone stimuli presented to the contralateral ear. The primary auditory cortex lies largely ventral to the lateral sulcus, the only major fissure on the lateral cortex of this smooth-brained primate, but in some animals it may extend significantly down the ventral bank of this sulcus. Responses are distributed such that low best frequencies are found rostroventrally whereas high best frequencies occur caudally. The disposition of frequency-band contours is fan-shaped, with contours separating lowfrequency octaves nearly parallel to the lateral sulcus and high-frequency (> 8 kHz) contours perpendicular to that sulcus. Best frequencies range from 0.6 to 30 kHz across the primary field, but there is a disproportionate representation of the three octaves between 2 and 16 kHz. The most sensitive thresholds (as low as -2 dB SPL) are found between 7 and 9 kHz. The primary auditory cortex is similar in cytoarchitecture to that reported for the cat, showin
