Transmission and Coding of Information in Auditory Nervous System

摘要

Research conducted on the electrophysiological aspects of the auditory nervous system, the neural activity during learning, and the different stages of alertness during sleep is outlined. Summaries are presented for the following research studies: (1) Long Duration Auditory Evoked Potentials in Man During Sleep, (2) The Effects of Midbrain Lesions on Cortical Responses to Acoustic Stimuli, (3) Differences in the Functions of the Two Cerebral Hemispheres, (4) The Use of Anatomical and Physiological Evidence in Theory Construction, and (5) Temporal Pattern Discrimination in Lower Animals and Its Relation to Language Perception in Man.
