Tonotopic and localized pathways from primary auditory cortex to the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus

Descending projections from the cortex to subcortical structures are critical for auditory plasticity, including the ability for central neurons to adjust their frequency tuning to relevant and meaningful stimuli. We show that focal electrical stimulation of primary auditory cortex in guinea pigs pr...
