The effect of temperature on intrinsic frequency tuning. A: the average STA current vs. time relative to each isolated spike in a population of middle-CF neurons with a bath temperature of 25°C (dashed black, n = 11), 30°C (gray, n = 11), and 35°C (solid black, n = 12). B: the gain of spike output vs. frequency computed from the STAs in A. The inset shows the same data on logarithmic axes, over the entire frequency range represented in NL. C: peak frequency (left), peak gain (middle), and gain half-width (right) vs. bath temperature. The stars indicate that all 3 of these measurements differed significantly with temperature. The peak frequency was fit with a quadratic and the peak gain and gain half-width were fit with a line to extrapolate to values at 40°C.
