摘要
Responses to frequency modulated (FM) sweeps were recorded in rat primary auditory cortex. Forty-four percent of the cells were direction-selective. For speed selectivity, the majority of the cells preferred faster sweeps. The results suggest that rat auditory cortex may be used for processing communication signals of their predators or for detecting spectral changes in acoustic signals. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
