  • Title: Phase-locked responses to pure tones in guinea pig auditory cortex.
    Author: Wallace MN, Rutkowski RG, Shackleton TM, Palmer AR.
    Journal: Neuroreport; 2000 Dec 18; 11(18):3989-93. PubMed ID: 11192615.
    Abstract:
    Phase-locked responses to pure tones are a characteristic of most auditory cells at the level of the brain stem and allow sophisticated analyses based on coincidence detection. Phase-locking to tones has not previously been shown at the level of the auditory cortex in single unit studies. We have now identified phase-locked responses in 10% of low-frequency (< 1 kHz) units in the ventrorostral belt, a strip of cortex immediately ventral to the primary auditory area. All of these units showed phase-locking in their response to binaural tone pips of 60-200 Hz and showed narrow band pass characteristics within this range.
