Response properties of PnC MUC. (A) Representative PSTH from a PnC MUC stimulated with 100 dB noise burst. Note short latency (~ 4 ms) onset response. (B) Mean (n=8, +/− SEM) discharge rate-intensity function of 8 PnC MUC. (C) Frequency-intensity matrix of PSTH obtained with 50 ms tone bursts. Sounds at 70 dB SPL or higher evoked PSTH responses. At 70 dB SPL, responses occurred over a broad frequency range (red arrows). (D) Frequency receptive field of 8 PnC MUC; note broad tuning and high intensities needed to elicit responses.
