In the lateral superior olive (LSO) the firing rate of principal neurons is a linear function of
inter-aural sound intensity difference (IID). The linearity and regularity of the “chopper …

Neurons in avian nucleus laminaris (NL) are binaural coincidence detectors for sound
localization and are characterized by striking structural variations in dendrites and axon …

Differences in intensity and arrival time of sounds at the two ears, interaural intensity and
time differences (IID, ITD), are the chief cues for sound localization. Both cues are initially …

1. We assessed mechanisms of binaural interaction underlying detection of interaural phase
disparity (IPD) by recording single-unit responses in the superior olivary complex (SOC) of …

Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) are tuned to the interaural time difference (ITD)
of sound arriving at the two ears. MSO neurons evoke a strongest response at their best …

In the brainstem, the auditory system diverges into two pathways that process different
sound localization cues, interaural time differences (ITDs) and level differences (ILDs). We …

The trapezoid body (TB) contains axons of neurons in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus
projecting to monaural and binaural nuclei in the superior olivary complex (SOC) …

The superior paraolivary nucleus (SPON) is a prominent structure in the mammalian
auditory brainstem with a proposed role in encoding transient broadband sounds such as …

Neurons in the lateral superior olivary nucleus (LSO) respond to acoustic stimuli with the”
chopper response”, a regular repetitive firing pattern with a short and precise latency. In the …

Auditory neurons in the mammalian brainstem are involved in several basic computation
processes essential for survival; for example, sound localization. Differences in sound …
