  1. Sensory Processes 3270 Lecture 9

  2. KEYWORDS -- SMELL I olfactory binding protein, olfactory receptors cells continuously regenerate (about every 60 days), cilia (on olfactory receptor cells), glomerulus (contact zones between receptor cells and mitral cells:plural glomeruli), convergence (1,000:1), mitral cell, olfactory tubercle of cortex (part of paleocortex), medial dorsal nucleus of thalamus , orbitofrontal cortex, olfactory neocortex paleocortex associated with limbic system, limbic system associated with emotions (electrical stimulation causes sham rage), limbic system associated with memories (H.M. had lesions here and lost the ability to memorize things), some hot spots in olfactory tubercle and on olfactory mucosa

  3. KEYWORDS -- SMELL II odour quality, no primaries identified in olfactory system, poor tuning of receptors (to chemicals or chemical types) (sharpened by lateral inhibition, inhibitory interneurones, granule cells), Henning smell prism, stereochemical theories based on lock and key partially successful, BUT no receptor sites identified, similar shaped molecules can be associated with different smell perceptions cells broadly tuned (responding to many different chemicals associated with many different smells) coding intensity= firing rate/recruitment, quality = distributed pattern code, problems in identifying many smells at once, binding problem

  4. KEYWORDS -- SMELL III odour thresholds, olfactorium; unique technical problems!, humans very sensitive (eg. mercaton can be detected at 1 part per 50,000,000,000), affected by gender; can be affected by menstrual cycle, affected by age adaptation, thresholds raised (by exposure), masking (by other chemicals), some cross effects: eg. adapting to orange affects smell of lemons identification, can identify gender from shirt, prefer own odours, odour memories long lasting; associated with emotions (via limbic system) "designed not to forget”, pheromones, releasers (immediate effect), eg. bitch on heat, territorial markers, humans?, McClintock effect (synchronized menstrual cycles), primers (longer term) eg. mice need males around for proper oestrus cycles

  5. KEYWORDS -- SMELL IV PATHWAYS olfactory receptor cells to mitral cells in olfactory bulb to olfactory tubercle in paleocortex THEN 1 to medial dorsal thalamus to olfactory cortex (ORBITOFRONTAL CORTEX) 2 to limbic system 3 brain stem pathways associated with pheromones ALSO inhibitory pathway (via inhibitory interneurone: granule cells) from one olfactory bulb to the other to do with detecting the DIRECTION from which a smell originates

  6. Keywords on hearing (introduction) auditory canal, ear drum, ossicles, oval window, cochlea, helicotrema, basilar membrane, tectorial membrane, hair cells, kinocilium, stereocilia, amplification (by ossicles & area difference between ear drum and oval window), travelling wave, resonance, tonotopic coding, cochleotopic coding, transduction auditory thresholds, effect of age, different animals, fundamental, harmonics, timbre, pitch/frequency, loudness/amplitude, pure tone, equal loudness, masking place theory, periodicity theory, duplicity theory, missing fundamental, goldfish has no basilar membrane - can distinguish freqs, phase-locking, diplacusis,

  7. Sensory Processes 3270 Speech

  8. Formant 3 Formant 2 Formant 1 time

  9. Formant transitions Formants

  10. Same sounds, different spectrographs...

  11. Long VOT Short VOT Voice Onset Time (VOT)

  12. McGurk Effect SOUND VISION

  13. Video demo video=ga sound = ba combo= da

  14. Green = average blue = less red = more Background resting activity -- note more activity in frontal regions

  15. Frontal eye fields Visual cortex Looking around

  16. WERNICKE’S AREA Auditory cortex Listening to words

  17. Supplementary motor area BROCA’S AREA (speech production) WERNICKE’S AREA (speech understanding) Counting out loud

  18. ????? Internal speech -- counting in your head

  19. Frontal regions NOT Broca or Wernicke’s areas !!!! Internal speech -- counting in your head

  20. KEYWORDS -- SMELL II odour quality, no primaries identified in olfactory system, poor tuning of receptors (to chemicals or chemical types) (sharpened by lateral inhibition, inhibitory interneurones, granule cells), Henning smell prism, stereochemical theories based on lock and key partially successful, BUT no receptor sites identified, similar shaped molecules can be associated with different smell perceptions cells broadly tuned (responding to many different chemicals associated with many different smells) coding intensity= firing rate/recruitment, quality = distributed pattern code, problems in identifying many smells at once, binding problem
