Principles of Voltage-Sensitive Dye Optical Imaging
RH-795 chemical
structure
Unbound to the lipid bilayer dye
molecules are not fluorescent
Dye interactions
with the lipid bilayer
Bound dye molecules
are fluorescent

cortical architecture and dynamics)

Interaural Time Difference (ITD)
Binaural click produces the sensation of a sound source to
the left, in front of, or to the right of the animal.
The angle is determined by the Interaural Time Difference (ITD)
(After: Tsytsarev et al, 2009. Optical imaging of interaural
time difference representation in rat auditory cortex)

Imaging of the ITD Representation

Click leading:
Red: contralateral
Green: ipsilateral
Blue: (ITD = 0)

time difference representation in rat auditory cortex)

Conclusion
l
The virtual map of auditory space in rat auditory cortex
does not exist
but
l
Patterns of neural activity recorded in response to
binaural click presentations can encode ITD
