PG - 89-96 AB - We recorded neuromagnetic evoked responses from the right auditory cortex of 7 healthy adults with a 24-channel planar SQUID gradiometer. The stimuli were 200-ms click trains presented at rates of 40, 80, 160 and 320 Hz, with interstimulus intervals (ISIs) of 1 and 4 s. The transient N100m response to the train onset depended on the click rate: the peak latency shortened to the same extent as the interval between successive clicks decreased in trains with rates from 40 Hz to 320 Hz. The N100m amplitude increased simultaneously, saturating at rates of 160-320 Hz. The mean N100m latency was slightly longer with the 1-s than with the 4-s ISI for all click rates. The systematic changes of the N100m amplitude and latency according to click rate demonstrate the importance of temporal integration for N100m generation, and imply an integration time of 20-25 ms. The 20- and 40-Hz click trains also elicited oscillatory 40-Hz responses 80-250 ms after the train onset. The 40-Hz responses were more resistant than N100m to changes of the ISI, and their sources slightly differed from those of N100m. These two responses evidently reflect different aspects of auditory processing. FAU - Forss, N AU - Forss N AD - Low Temperature Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland.
