Figure 1

Recording sites and subfields in the auditory cortex of Phyllostomus discolor. A) Lateral view of the P. discolor brain. Recording sites of all 849 units are indicated as black dots. Superimposed black outlines are neuroanatomically determined borders. Solid black lines represent reliable borders, whereas stippled black lines represent more variable borders. Rostro-caudal positions of frontal sections shown in Fig. 2 are indicated by the white vertical lines. Colored lines represent equal medio-lateral distances from the midline in 1000 μm steps as shown in the flattened cortical surface projection in 1B. B) Projection of recording sites (black crosses) and neuroanatomical borders (black lines) on an unrolled and flattened cortical surface. Lateral distances on the cortical surface are indicated in 1000 μm steps by corresponding colors as in the side view (1A). The origin used for the flattening process was fixed at 2000 μm lateral from the midline of the brain (upper dark blue line). C) Schematic of the auditory cortical subfields: anterior dorsal field (ADF), posterior dorsal field (PDF), anterior ventral field (AVF) and posterior ventral field (PVF) with dorsal (PVFd), ventral (PVFv) parts and a border zone (bz) reconstructed on the flattened cortical surface. The neuroanatomically determined borders are indicated by black lines.
