Response characteristics of fusiform cells to vocalizations. (A) Fusiform cells were highly selective to vocalizations. The median selectivity index value was 0.91. (B) There was no relation between the characteristic frequency of each neuron and how many vocalizations evoked responses. Each point is a fusiform cell. (C) Fusiform cells with high thresholds to a characteristic frequency tone and broad band noise were less likely to respond to vocalizations. Few cells with thresholds above 55 dB responded to vocalizations.
