Abstract

The responses of single neurons of the auditory center in the frog mesencephalon to tonal stimuli of varying frequencies have been studied. It has been found that some neurons which respond to the signal of the characteristic frequency (CF) by a long-lasting discharge respond to tones of higher frequencies only at the start of stimulation. It is shown, that the tones giving rise to a phasic response inhibit impulsation brought about by the action of the CF tone.
