The response strength to tones is enhanced in VPA speech trained rats. VPA untrained rats evoke fewer spikes per tone in AAF compared to saline untrained rats, and this deficit is reversed in VPA speech trained rats. The number of spikes evoked per tone is presented at a range of intensities (0–75 dB). Responses to tones within 1 octave of each site’s characteristic frequency were averaged together. Error bars indicate s.e.m. across recording sites. Asterisks indicate intensities that are statistically significant between VPA untrained rats and VPA speech trained rats (p < 0.0031, Bonferroni correction).
