Cross-Modal Plasticity Results in Increased Inhibition in Primary Auditory Cortical Areas

Figure 8

The distribution of neuronal response types before and after application of gabazine. Each panel represents data from one animal. A indicates auditory stimulation. OX indicates optic chiasm stimulation. The + symbols in the legend represent neurons that were responsive to that modality, whereas − symbols represent neurons that were not responsive to that modality. Unmasked visual responses were intermixed with auditory and multisensory neurons. X in the figures indicates a nonresponsive recording site. Scale bar: 1 mm. Arrows at lower right show orientation of the photo. M: medial, L: lateral, R: rostral, and C: caudal.
