About the Book

This account of the auditory cortex brings together research in the various disciplines of neuroscience. Its purpose is to give the reader an adequate background for understanding the mechanisms of normal auditory cortical function and cortical deafness. It is designed to inform readers with a variety of backgrouds, including physiologists, anatomists, psychologists and neurologists. To this end the terminology needed to express ideas about auditory cortical structure and function is related to a chapter in which methodology is stressed. Issues such as structure and functional and connectional anatomy lead into an account of the physiological properties of the auditory cortex, their ontogenetic development and their expression in the behaving animal and perceiving human.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 An introduction to the auditory cortex. Part 2 Tools for studying the auditory cortex: microelectrode recording technique; classical methods for neuronal and fibre staining; methods for tracing the connections of neurones; functional anatomy. Part 3 Basic features of the organization of the subcortical auditory pathway: the physiology of the cochlea; physiology of cochlear nerve afferents; the organization of the brain stem auditory pathways; parallel processing in the auditory brain stem; the response properties of collicular neurones projecting axons into the thalamocortical auditory system; the preservation of parallel processing channels in the auditory thalamus. Part 4 The representation of the cochlea in the cerebral cortex: auditory cortical areas in primates; auditory fields in non-primate mammals; functional; aspects of tonotopic organization. Part 5 Connectionns of the auditory cortex: ascending connections; inter-hemispheric connections; intra-hemispheric connections; efferent projections. Part 6 The internal organization of the auditory cortex: the layers of the auditory cortex and their neuronal composition; laminar organization of pathways related to the AI; synaptic actions on AI neurones of different input pathways; columnar organization of the AI. Part 7 Physiological response properties of neurones in the auditory cortex: response patterns to simple acoustic stimuli; influence of the stimulus intensity on response rate; frequency response characteristics; effects of time-varying acoustic features; auditory cortical units and "natural" sounds. Part 8 Binaural physiology of the primary auditory complex: the responses of cortical neurones to binaural stimuli presented dichotically; responses to free-field stimuli; organization of binaural neurones across the auditory cortex; the AI and sound localization behaviour. Part 9 The development of the auditory cortex: maturation of auditory cortical structure; maturation of discharge characteristics; adaptability of the mature auditory cortex. Part 10 Cortical deafness: unilateral lesions of the auditory cortex; bilateral lesions of the auditory cortex; bilateral temporal lobe lesions in humans; the cortex and language production; the relationship between electrical activity and human perception. Part 11 Horizons.
