Figure 5. Neural responsivity, selectivity, and reliability in subfields L1 (∼Layer III), L2 (∼Layer IV), and L3 (∼Layer V).

Figure 5

A. Comparison of control and wn-reared mean z-scores (pooled over all five stimuli: Con, Pips, Tones, Ripples, and WN) broken down by subdivisions in field L (as assessed by histological analysis). Average z-scores for all stimulus-excited responsive units show that responses to the more complex stimuli of Con, Ripples, and WN are reduced in L1 and L3 in wn-reared birds compared to control birds. Error bars represent 2 SEs. B. d′ values for the Con-Tones comparison for controls and wn-reared adults broken down by subdivisions in field L. Selectivity analysis shows noise-rearing had the greatest effect on subfields L1 and L3. Error bars represent 2 SEs. C. Fano factor for Pips (left) and Tones (right) for controls and wn-reared adults broken down by subdivisions in field L. Noise-rearing decreased the response reliability for neurons in subfields L1 and L3. Error bars represent 2 SEs.
