Two-tone suppression in auditory nerve fibers of the green treefrog (Hyla cinerea).
The phenomenon of two-tone suppression was studied quantitatively in the peripheral auditory system of the green treefrog (Hyla cinerea). Linear relationships were found between best excitatory and best suppressor frequency, between response thresholds at these frequencies, between Q 10dB-values of excitatory and suppressor tuning curves and best excitatory frequency, and between both Q 10dB-values.
