Improved stimulus representation by short interspike intervals in primary auditory cortex.

Abstract:

:We analyzed the receptive field information conveyed by interspike intervals (ISIs) in the auditory cortex. In the visual system, different ISIs may both code for different visual features and convey differing amounts of stimulus information. To determine their potential role in auditory signal processing, we obtained extracellular recordings in the primary auditory cortex (AI) of the cat while presenting a dynamic moving ripple stimulus and then used the responses to construct spectrotemporal receptive fields (STRFs). For each neuron, we constructed three STRFs, one for short-ISI events (ISI < 15 ms); one for isolated, long-ISI events (ISI > 15 ms); and one including all events. To characterize stimulus encoding, we calculated the feature selectivity and event information for each of the STRFs. Short-ISI spikes were more feature selective and conveyed information more efficiently. The different ISI regimens of AI neurons did not represent different stimulus features, but short-ISI spike events did contribute over-proportionately to the full spike train STRF information. Thus short-ISIs constitute a robust representation of auditory features, and they are particularly effective at driving postsynaptic activity. This suggests that short-ISI events are especially suited to provide noise immunity and high-fidelity information transmission in AI.
