Healthy band-enhanced IC neurons respond between formants not at them

Evidence

The healthy band-enhanced responses (Fig. 4a , blue) reflect the patterns of F0-synchronized rate shown in Fig. 2 ; responses are decreased near formant frequencies (orange arrows), because synchrony capture in the healthy AN reduces the low-frequency fluctuations that ultimately drive this IC type. Band-enhanced neurons tuned to frequencies between formants (Fig. 4a , green arrow) have strong responses due to the strong F0-synchronized rate in the healthy AN for these frequency channels (Fig. 2d , green arrow). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5472
