Neuroanatomy Exam 2 - Cell information

cell types, function, location, and pathway

Bushy Cells (function)

refine coding of timing and intensity

T-Stellate Cells (function)

1. code intensity across different frequencies (spectral shape)

2. code changes in intensity over time (amplitude modulation)

Octopus Cells (function)

code timing, primarily for very brief broadband transients

Pyramidal Cells (function)

sharp frequency tuning due to inhibitory inputs

Cartwheel Cells (function)

sharpen frequency & intensity coding of the CN
