✦ Synopsis
Microelectrode Recording o/ Single Unit Response8/rom the In/erior colliculus and Medial geniculate Body to Acoustic Stimuli o/ Various Eorms
and Intensities Summary. To evaluate the activity v~riations of single neurons as a function of stimulus intensity the discharges of single elements were recorded extracellularly with microelectrodes from eollicuins inferior and geniculate mediMe. As stimuli served noise bursts, tone bursts and dicks. It is found that the number of response patterns in the PST-histogramm can be classified into a few groups everyone characterized by a groundtype.
-
These groups are described and the frequency distribution of 129 single dements of 9 cats is studied with regard to the classification.
-
The intensity function of single elements is studied on the basis of Ranke's adaptation theory and the curve is discussed.
-
A simple scheme is shown to describe the relation between the intensity functions of single elements and that of element complexes.
