Effect of ES<sub>AI</sub> on the auditory responses of a BF-unmatched CN neuron sampled with protocol 1.

Abstract

<p><b>A</b>. Raster plotting of a typical change in auditory responses of a CN neuron that had a BF different from that of AI neurons before, during, and after ES<sub>AI</sub>. The responses to 12–13 kHz decreased and then ceased whereas the responses to 14 kHz appeared and gradually increased following electrical stimulation of AI neuron tuned 16 kHz. <b>B–D</b>. Changes in the latencies of this neuron in response to 12 kHz, 13 kHz and 14 kHz tones following ES<sub>AI</sub>. The response latencies to 12–13 kHz tones gradually increased before the cessation of auditory responses and recovered with extremely long latencies. The changes in response latencies were similar to that of BF-matched neurons depicted in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0014038#pone-0014038-g001" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a>. The asterisk represents the BF of the stimulated AI neurons. The grey lines in B–D represent ES<sub>AI</sub>.</p
