Effect of stochastic synaptic and dendritic dynamics on synaptic plasticity in visual cortex and hippocampus.

abstract：:Recognition of sound patterns must be largely independent of level and of masking or jamming background sounds. Auditory patterns of relevance in numerous environmental sounds, species-specific vocalizations and speech are frequency modulations (FM). Level-dependent activation of the human auditory cortex (AC) in resp...
