Coding of call components essential for intraspecific communication through auditory neurons in the squirrel monkey

Presented here are preliminary experimental data in the search for a neuronal correlate of a mechanism providing such receptive capacities. The activity of single neurons of the auditory midbrain (inferior colliculus) and thalamus (medial geniculate body) was recorded extracellularly from awake squi...

Description
Summary:Presented here are preliminary experimental data in the search for a neuronal correlate of a mechanism providing such receptive capacities. The activity of single neurons of the auditory midbrain (inferior colliculus) and thalamus (medial geniculate body) was recorded extracellularly from awake squirrel monkeys. Several species-specific vocalizations which were characterized by specific amplitude modulations and had no frequency modulation served as acoustic stimuli.
