The barn owl's auditory system computes interaural differences in time and amplitude and
derives from them the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the sound source, respectively …

Space-specific neurons, found in the barn owl's inferior colliculus, respond selectively to a
narrow range of interaural time and intensity differences. We show that injecting a local …

Spatial receptive fields of neurons in the auditory pathway of the barn owl result from the
sensitivity to combinations of interaural time (ITD) and level differences across stimulus …

▪ Abstract Behavioral, anatomical, and physiological approaches can be integrated in the
study of sound localization in barn owls. Space representation in owls provides a useful …

Sound localization is the ability to pinpoint the direction a sound is coming from based on
auditory cues alone. Neurons in the brain which mediate this behavior are active only when …

Interaural time differences are an important cue for azimuthal sound localization. It is still
unclear whether the same neuronal mechanisms underlie the representation in the brain of …

This paper investigates the role of the central nucleus of the barn owl's inferior colliculus in
determination of the sound-source azimuth. The central nucleus contains many neurons that …

The barn owl uses the interaural difference in the timing of sounds to determine the azimuth
of the source. When the sound has a wide frequency band, localization is precise. When …

Detection of interaural time differences underlies azimuthal sound localization in the barn
owl Tyto alba. Axons of the cochlear nucleus magnocellularis, and their targets in the …

Determining the location of a sound source requires the use of binaural hearing–information
about a sound at the two ears converges onto neurones in the auditory brainstem to create a …
