Tonotopic Map Auditory Cortex

Frequency with position along the cortical surface—a tonotopic map. Apart from tonotopic frequency maps, auditory cortex also features representations of other acoustic parameters like stimulus bandwidth, sweep direction, or lateralization (woods et al. The mammalian brain is divided into functional modules by location (kanwisher, 2010;

Asl has been previously employed to map the topography of a sensory system, namely retinotopy in visual cortex (cavusoglu et al., 2012), while the current study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to employ the asl technique to perform tonotopic mapping in the auditory cortex. Distribution of auditory nerve fibres (anr) within the cochlear nucleus of the cat (ryugo and parks, 2003). For instance, as many as seven tonotopic mappings have been observed in the cat cortex, each corresponding to a cytoarchitecturally distinct area (e.g., heil et al.

Furthermore, the morphology of superior temporal cortex is complex and difficult to. The lta concordance maps (fig.
