pubmed:abstractText |
Single neurons responding to auditory stimuli (40 msec duration, 0.5 msec rise-decay time) could be isolated from rather large areas of the cerebellar vermis and hemispheres of an echolocating bat, Eptesicus fuscus. These neurons had latencies between 4 and 13 msec and best frequencies between 22 and 77 kHz. The Q10-dB values of their tuning curves were between 1.4 and 16.6. When acoustic stimuli were delivered though the earphones, tuning curves measured from each ear alone were nearly identical in shape and best frequency. The minimum thresholds of these neurons were between 12 and 65 dB SPL. Apparently, these are suitable for reception of the bat's echolocating signals.
