Figure 6

Spatial representation of response properties on the flattened cortical surface and statistical comparison between the four cortical fields. Tessellation maps of the spatial representation are shown for: A) Best frequency, C) Q_10dB value, F) Response threshold, G) First spike latency and H) Response duration. The outlines of AC and AC subfields are superimposed (black lines as in Fig 1). Panel B) shows the topographic position of the AC subfields of P. discolor derived from neuroarchitectural characteristics. The arrows indicate BF gradients in the tonotopically organized ventral fields. Statistical analysis of different cortical subfields are shown for: D) Best frequency, E) Q_10dB value, I) Response threshold, J) First spike latency and K) Response duration. Box plots show the median (red line) and the 25th and 75th percentiles. The 'whiskers' indicate the limits of the remaining percentiles. Outliers (Values >1.5 times the interquartile range) are not shown in the figure. The thick black lines above the plots indicate significant differences (Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.05). Abbreviations as in Fig. 1C.
