Abstract

Although cortical feedback signals are essential for modulating feedforward processing, no feedback error signal across hierarchical cortical areas has been reported. Here, we observed such a signal in the auditory cortex of awake common marmoset during an oddball paradigm to induce auditory duration mismatch negativity. Prediction errors to a deviant tone presentation were generated as offset calcium responses of layer 2/3 neurons in the rostral parabelt (RPB) of higher-order auditory cortex, while responses to non-deviant tones were strongly suppressed. Within several hundred milliseconds, the error signals propagated broadly into layer 1 of the primary auditory cortex (A1) and accumulated locally on top of incoming auditory signals. Blockade of RPB activity prevented deviance detection in A1. Optogenetic activation of RPB following tone presentation nonlinearly enhanced A1 tone response. Thus, the feedback error signal is critical for automatic detection of unpredicted stimuli in physiological auditory processing and may serve as backpropagation-like learning.
