DEMULTIPLICATED NEUROMAL DISCHARGE PERIODICITIES CORRELATED WITH STIMULUS FREQUENCY IN COLLICULUS INFERIOR AND GENICULATUM MEDIALE

The stimulus correlated discharge periodicities of single neurons described in the literature for all parts of the acoustic channel below the geniculatum mediale were confirmed for the colliculus inferior. Furthermore a quite different kind of discharge periodicity in the geniculatum mediale is reported. With these results structure models are given for the neuronal temporal measurement of coincidence. Finally a possibility of discrimination between intra-modality-specific and intra-modality-nonspecific processing mechanism is shown. © 1969 Springer-Verlag.
