Additional Unique Aspects of the AuditorySystem and Auditory Cortex:
(5) Extremely precise temporal precision (50 sec in NLL, 1 ms in A1) – Kv3
(6) Short‐latency responses in A1 (~10‐20 ms vs. 80‐100 ms in V1)
(7) Computational mapping of space – i.e. not reflecting direct map of receptor surface (as in vision or touch) since cochlear receptive surface is a map of frequency, not space
(8) Broad receptive fields in A1 ‐ comparable to V4 or SII
(9) Extensive topdown projections connecting all levels (10x > bottom‐up)
(10) Extraordinarily adaptive and plastic properties of cells in auditory system

• Feature extraction – cortical representations of pitch, auditory objects, acoustic scenes, computational maps
• Functional streams – What? Where? Who? Lesion results• Forms of behaviorally mediated plasticity• Context‐dependent responses

Tonotopic organization is present in all cortical layers of the mouse auditory cortex based upon electrical activity ranging from theta waves to single units, and in states of consciousness ranging from areflexic to fully alert.
However there were three circumstances in which the robustness of tonotopy was significantly reduced or absent:
(1) tonotopic organization was not observed when recordings were made from the middle layers of the three belt fields that surround A1 and AAF
(2) tonotopy within the core fields was substantially reduced, though not eliminated altogether,when frequency tuning was characterized with a single, suprathreshold sound level. The loss of tonotopic mapping precision at higher sound intensities is well known (Phillips, 1994)
(3) a substantial minority of recording sites in the superficial (29.5%) and deep (20.5%) layers were driven by pure tones, yet exhibited irregular frequency tuningand no discernible tonotopic organization

Activity of the cerebral cortex depends on brain state. So, what are the different “states” of awareness?
Anesthetized (Isoflurane, Ketamine, Nembutal, urethane, etc.) Anesthetized (Up States – global activity, Down States –network silence) Conscious, unconscious ‐ arousal, comatose MCS (Minimally conscious state) Sleep (SWS, REM) Synchronization, desynchronization Awake ‐ quiescent Awake ‐ attentive (selective) Awake ‐ attentive (global) Emotional state (relaxed, stressed) Different drug‐induced states
What are the behavioral & neural correlates of these different states? Responsiveness, activation of reticular activating system, TRN,
midline thalamic nuclei?

What are the effects of these states on auditory processing?

Auditory Attention, Context and Associative Meaning
Auditory cortex as a “semantic processor” (Scheich et al., 2011) deducing the task‐specific meaning of sounds by learning and also an “attentional processor” that predicts, updates and selects the most salient sound in the landscape.
Multisensory context also plays a very important role in defining auditory meaning – for example, the crackling of a twig in the jungle means quite a different thing if you just smelled the fresh scent of jaguar. Mice exposed to predator odor changed evoked responses to sound (Halene et al., 2009) and lactating mouse mothers reshape their responses to sound when they are exposed to their pup odors (Cohen et al., 2011).

Summary : Lecture 1
There are multiple areas in auditory cortex with different characteristic inputs from MGB and distinctive cytoarchitecture, chemoarchitecture and gene expression
There are also multiple neuroanatomical and functional pathways (networks) in auditory cortex, and descending topdown projections
Neurophysiological mapping reveals presence of frequency (tonotopic) maps as well as odotopic and binaural maps
Neurons respond to frequency, bandwidth, timbre, intensity, location of sounds with multiple spectral/temporal windows
Auditory cortical neurons can be highly selective – and show onset, offset and sustained responses
Auditory neurons are highly state dependent in their responses – to context, to behavioral state and to learned sound meaning
