Abstract

The [14C]-2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) technique was used to determine wether this technique allows to localize, map and differentiate effects of acoustically defined communicative or non-communicative sounds on the auditory cortex (AC) of adult and developing tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri). Discrete stimulus-specific patterns of increased 2-DG labelling were observed in auditory cortex of adult tupaias and imply a tonotopic organization. First at 18 days after birth (DAB) sound stimulation produced enhanced patterns of 2-DG uptake, however, quite different from those of adults. Labelling at that time was concentrated in rostral parts of the AC at places, where in adults higher frequencies are represented. At 39 DAB sound-induced labelling corresponded to that of adults. Different effects of communicative or non-communicative stimuli on functional activity of the auditory cortex were found shortly after onset of hearing, but were not as discrete as in adults, suggesting that epigenetic influences might be involved in shaping sound perception in tree shrews.
