title: Temporal processing in cat primary auditory cortex.
abstract: In this short review, we discuss several aspects of how temporal coding is reflected in the response of primary auditory cortical neurons. We attempt to establish a link between several different temporal response properties including onset latency, response strength to repetitive stimuli, and the recovery of a response from suppression by a preceding signal. The results suggest a relationship between temporal effects that are expressed at quite different time scales. The results are discussed in relation to spatial representational properties and to coding in other sensory cortices.
