In-vivo Optical imaging of cortical architecture and dynamics)

Optical imaging of interaural time difference representation in rat auditory cortex) 1 kHz 5 kHz 7 kHz

http://oilab.seas.wustl.eduhttp://oilab.seas.wustl.edu -- 6 Voltage-Sensitive Dye Optical Imaging of the Auditory Cortex Where is in the brain? “Where”
7
http://oilab.seas.wustl.eduhttp://oilab.seas.wustl.edu -- 7 Interaural Time Difference (ITD) Binaural click produces the sensation of a sound source to the left, in front of, or to the right of the animal. The angle is determined by the Interaural Time Difference (ITD) (After: Tsytsarev et al, 2009. Optical imaging of interaural time difference representation in rat auditory cortex)

http://oilab.seas.wustl.eduhttp://oilab.seas.wustl.edu -- 8 Imaging of the ITD Representation sound stimulus onset Click leading: Red: contralateral Green: ipsilateral Blue: (ITD = 0) (After: Tsytsarev et al, 2009. Optical imaging of interaural time difference representation in rat auditory cortex)

http://oilab.seas.wustl.eduhttp://oilab.seas.wustl.edu -- 9 Conclusion l The virtual map of auditory space in rat auditory cortex does not exist but l Patterns of neural activity recorded in response to binaural click presentations can encode ITD
