Abstract(in English) The guinea pig auditory cortex is constructed by six layers. These layers have different function respectively. In this study, receptive field of the cells at various depth was observed by single unit recording method, and the frequency selectivity of these cells was evaluated. As a result, cells of layer IV that is mainly projected from thalamus had high frequency selectivity. On the other hand, the cells of layers II, III (supragranular layer) and layers V, VI (infragranular layer) had low frequency selectivity because receptive fields of the former were multi-modal and that of the latter were broad. Further, cross correlogram of the cells in the supragranular layer depicted the electrophysiological evidences that these cells delivered frequency information by long horizontal projections over the columnar organization. It may reflect that the frequency information are integrated in the supragranular layer.
