Range-adapting representation of economic value in the orbitofrontal cortex.

2 Nov 2009 While making economic choices, individuals assign subjective values to the available options. Values computed in different behavioral conditions, however, can vary substantially. The same person might choose some times between goods worth a few ... Read more...

Correlating stimulus-specific adaptation of cortical neurons and local field potentials in the awake rat.

2 Nov 2009 Changes in the sensory environment are good indicators for behaviorally relevant events and strong triggers for the reallocation of attention. In the auditory domain, violations of a pattern of repetitive stimuli precipitate in the event-related ... Read more...

Dynamic range adaptation to sound level statistics in the auditory nerve.

2 Nov 2009 The auditory system operates over a vast range of sound pressure levels (100-120 dB) with nearly constant discrimination ability across most of the range, well exceeding the dynamic range of most auditory neurons (20-40 dB). Dean et al. (2005) have ... Read more...
