Acoustical Enrichment during Early Development Improves Response Reliability in the Adult Auditory Cortex of the Rat by Zbyněk Bureš, Kateryna Pysanenko, Jiří Lindovský, Josef Syka

“…Here, we show that rearing rat pups in a complex acoustically enriched environment leads to an increased reliability of responses of AC neurons, affecting both the rate and the temporal codes. For a repetitive stimulus, the neurons exhibit a lower spike count variance, indicating a more stable rate coding. …”
