Frequency following response to clicks could be an evolutionary pathway to acoustic transduction of neuron spikes.
The neural generators of the *frequency-following response* (FFR), a neural response widely used to study the human auditory system, remain unclear...Supportively, topographic comparison between the FFR and the auditory brainstem response (ABR) *evoked by clicks* revealed that the topography of the F0 component resembled that of the click-ABR at an earlier latency when stimulus F0 was higher and that the topography of the H2 component resembled that of the click-ABR at a nearly fixed latency regardless of stimulus F0, particularly for binaurally evoked FFRs. Possible generation sites of the FFR and implications for future studies were discussed. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2019.00130/full On Thu, Feb 20, 2020 at 5:40 PM James Bowery <[email protected]> wrote: > Linguistic structure is undoubtedly present in the firing patterns of some > subset of neurons in the human neocortex.
