摘要/描述

This study examined auditory responses of two simultaneously recorded neurons in the central nucleus of bat inferior colliculus (IC) under two-tone stimulation conditions. We specifically examined how a sound within the excitatory frequency tuning curve (FTC) of one IC neuron might affect responses of the other IC neuron in amplitude and frequency domains. Under this specific two-tone stimulation condition, responses of 82% neurons were suppressed and their excitatory FTCs sharpened. Responses of the other 18% neurons were facilitated and their excitatory FTCs broadened. Two-tone suppression was greater at low than at high stimulus amplitudes. Two-tone suppression also decreased with increasing recording depth and best frequency (BF) difference between each pair of neurons. The suppressive or facilitatory FTC of a neuron plotted under two-tone stimulation conditions was always within the excitatory FTC of the other neuron. Two-tone suppression or two-tone facilitation was weak near the BF but became increasingly strong with frequencies away from the BF. Biological significance of these findings is discussed.
