The auditory cortex : structural and functional bases of auditory perception / Lindsay Aitkin. 1st ed. London ; New York : Chapman and Hall, 1990. x, 146 p., [2] p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [123]-142) and index. 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. Auditory cortex. Auditory perception.
