Fig. 4

An example neuron showing dependences of the mean FSL and the SD FSL of the response to a location-changeable sound on the azimuth of the sound. a) Dot-raster histograms showing responses to TH as location-changeable Odd presented at 5 azimuths (as indicated above the top panel). Red dots indicate the first spikes elicited by Odd while grey dots indicate spikes elicited after the first spikes. The distribution of the FSL is shown in each panel using a histogram. The mean and the SD of the distribution are indicated above the histogram. A vertical line in the histogram indicates the mean FSL. A horizonal black bar below each panel indicates the duration of a sound. b) Bar charts showing dependences of the mean FSL (left panel) and the SD FSL (right panel) on the azimuth of a location-changeable sound. Measurements were obtained from responses to Odd (red), Eql (magenta), and Std (blue). The inset at the top of the figure shows that an oddball paradigm with TL as location-fixed Std and TH as location-changeable Odd was used to obtain responses displayed in (a).
