Sensorimotor Transformations in the Zebrafish Auditory System
2019, Current BiologyCitation Excerpt :In mammals, birds, and lizards, acoustic frequency discrimination occurs in the cochlea due to the properties of the basilar membrane (for review, see [1]). This spatial map of the frequency spectrum on the cochlea is called tonotopy and is propagated to the CNS through parallel channels and along the auditory hierarchy up to the primary auditory areas [2–5]. Teleosts fish do not have a cochlea, but their inner ear consists of otoliths and a series of hair cells used for both the auditory and the vestibular system capable of detecting the acceleration component of sound [6].
Local versus global scales of organization in auditory cortex
2014, Trends in NeurosciencesCitation Excerpt :Most rodents, carnivores, and bats also have three primary areas separated by frequency reversals in the tonotopic gradients: A1, the anterior auditory field (AAF), and a posterior auditory field. In the auditory pallidum of birds, field L exhibits many of the same features as A1, including a prominent input from nucleus ovoidalis, the presumed homolog of MGBv [18], and a tonotopic organization [19–21]. Although all researchers in the field are in agreement about the existence of a tonotopic organization in the primary fields of auditory cortex, how tight this organization is has been questioned in the past [12,22,23].
