| pubmed-article:2269023 | pubmed:abstractText | Postnatal development of auditory sensitivity in the big brown bat, Eptesicus fuscus, was studied by determining the auditory spatial sensitivity of inferior collicular (IC) neurons of juvenile bats which were raised under normal (control) or monaurally plugged conditions. The auditory spatial sensitivity of each IC neuron was determined by measuring its variation in number of impulses and minimum threshold to a best frequency sound delivered from different azimuthal angles under free field stimulation conditions. Monaural plugging was performed on different juvenile bats at 7, 14, and 35 days of age. Auditory spatial sensitivity was then determined for IC neurons of monaurally plugged bats at 58-69 days after birth. Monaural plugging did not alter the discharge pattern, distribution of best frequency and latency of IC neurons, but it raised the minimum threshold of IC neurons of plugged juvenile bats by an average of 21-24 dB. Monaural plugging also appeared to modify postnatal development of auditory spatial sensitivity. The auditory spatial sensitivity of IC neurons was sharper when the earplug was intact than when the earplug was removed. Thus, the distribution of response center and the spatial sensitivity of IC neurons of the monaurally plugged bats was more comparable to IC neurons of the control bats before the earplug was removed. These findings suggest that the neural circuits underlying auditory spatial sensitivity of IC neurons of the monaurally plugged juvenile bats have undergone modifications to compensate for the unnatural binaural disparity during postnatal development. The auditory spatial sensitivity was also determined for two control juvenile bats at 49 and 60 days of age and for an adult bat (more than 1 year). Our data show that auditory spatial sensitivity of IC neurons sharpens with postnatal age. Furthermore, the sharpening process appears to be still in progress even at 60 days after birth. | lld:pubmed |
