Multiplexing of visual-auditory signals in a predominantly auditory brain region

|
By Meredith Schmehl, Yunran Chen, Surya T. Tokdar, Jennifer M. Groh
| biorxiv.org
Abstract A recently proposed theory of neural representation postulates that when more than one stimulus is to be encoded, neurons in that representation may fluctuate between encoding each item. To date, such work has considered only cases in which both stimuli are of the same sensory modality, such as how two sounds are encoded in an auditory brain region.

Visually-evoked activity and variable modulation of auditory responses in the macaque inferior colliculus

|

Abstract How multisensory cues affect processing in early sensory brain areas is not well understood. The inferior colliculus (IC) is an early auditory structure that is visually responsive (Porter et al., 2007; Bulkin & Groh, 2012b, 2012a), but little is known about how visual signals affect the IC's auditory representation.

Signal switching may enhance processing power of the brain

|
By Jennifer M. Groh, Meredith Schmehl, Valeria C. Caruso
| Cell Press Verified
What causes neural fluctuations? How a neuron comes to respond to one stimulus versus another is not known. The process could be bottom up (driven by the stimuli), top down (driven by a fluctuating control process that is stimulus independent), or noise driven (influenced by stochastic fluctuations that promote responses to one stimulus versus another). What is the spatial scale of neural signal switching?
