Figure 3. Somatosensory stimulation transiently alters fusiform cell sensitivity to spectral notches.

Figure 3

A, somatosensory stimulation (transcutaneous electrical stimulation at C2; som) was paired with auditory (spectral notch) stimulation using two different timing paradigms. AP: auditory stimulus onset precedes somatosensory stimulation. SP: somatosensory stimulation precedes auditory stimulus onset. B, notch inhibition in a representative type IV‐T fusiform cell unit under the naïve (without somatosensory) condition and during AP stimulation. C, changes in notch sensitivity (percentage change in I‐width) for ST (n = 8) or WT (n = 47) units during either AP or SP stimulation. Reduced and increased I‐width indicates improved and reduced notch detection, respectively. D, changes in notch sensitivity for all units (n = 55) during (Som: AP or SP) and immediately after (Recov) somatosensory activation. * P < 0.05 (post hoc). Red lines indicate mean and SEM.
