Abstract
Neurons of the lateral geniculate nucleus, responsive only to visual stimulation, show response plasticity during and after pairing of auditory and visual stimuli. Modal response histograms reveal a gradual decrement in the number of spikes at interstimulus pairing intervals of 0 and 100 milliseconds but not 500 milliseconds. This plasticity effect, limited to tonic units, may persist for 2 to 3 minutes after termination of click-flash pairing.Keywords
