Abstract
The study was first carried out on stimulus-specific adaptation
of neurons in the primary and anterior fields of the awake house
mice auditory cortex to sound sequences of four 100-ms tonal signals,
with a frequency of tones corresponding to the neuronal characteristic
frequency, and also with the inter-tone interval constant for one
sequence and varying from 0 to 2000 ms in different sequences. The
analysis of the data obtained showed the adaptation effect in the
responses of all studied primary auditory cortex neurons, which
was observed as the absence or significant decrease in activity
evoked by the components of a series of tones following the 1st,
at inter-stimulus intervals of 0–500 ms. A quantitative assessment
of the adaptation effects as a function of inter-stimulus intervals
within the tonal sequence, performed over a whole population of
studied neurons, showed that the individual time scales of adaptation
of neurons varied significantly, which may be crucial for the formation
of optimal time windows for the processing of grouping and separation
of sound events, which are important both for perception of animal vocalizations
and human speech.
