Pursuing dynamic reorganization in auditory cortex using chronic, multichannel unit recordings in awake, behaving cats |

---|---|---|
We implanted microelectrode arrays bilaterally into auditory cortex of trained cats in order to assess dynamic cortical reorganization. Cats were trained to listen to a series of tone-pip pairs and respond to the pair that had different frequencies. Over several months of training, a gradual decrease (−4.2×10−4 Weber Fractions/training day) in the frequency discrimination threshold occurred (p<0.00001). Neural recordings from a trained cat not performing the task were obtained for 5 days. Temporal and frequency response properties remained stable over this time. These techniques are useful for a variety of studies on learning-induced cortical plasticity. |
