Acute Inactivation of Primary Auditory Cortex Causes a Sound Localisation Deficit in Ferrets.

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of acute inactivation of brain areas by cooling in the behaving ferret and to demonstrate that cooling auditory cortex produced a localisation deficit that was specific to auditory stimuli. The effect of cooling on neural activity was measu...
