[HTML][HTML] The natural history of sound localization in mammals–a story of neuronal inhibition

B Grothe, M Pecka - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Our concepts of sound localization in the vertebrate brain are widely based on the general
assumption that both the ability to detect air-borne sounds and the neuronal processing are …

Sound localization: Jeffress and beyond

G Ashida, CE Carr - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Many animals use the interaural time differences (ITDs) to locate the source of low frequency
sounds. The place coding theory proposed by Jeffress has long been a dominant model to …

[PDF][PDF] Neural mechanisms of binaural processing in the auditory brainstem

TCT Yin, PH Smith, PX Joris - Compr Physiol, 2019 - researchgate.net
Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

[PDF][PDF] A mechanistic understanding of the role of feedforward inhibition in the mammalian sound localization circuitry

MT Roberts, SC Seeman, NL Golding - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
Feedforward inhibition sharpens the precision of neurons throughout ascending auditory
pathways, including the binaural neurons of the medial superior olive (MSO). However, the …

[HTML][HTML] Glycinergic inhibition tunes coincidence detection in the auditory brainstem

MH Myoga, S Lehnert, C Leibold, F Felmy… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) detect microsecond differences in the arrival
time of sounds between the ears (interaural time differences or ITDs), a crucial binaural cue …

In vivo coincidence detection in mammalian sound localization generates phase delays

TP Franken, MT Roberts, L Wei, NL Golding… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Sound localization critically depends on detection of differences in arrival time of sounds at
the two ears (acoustic delay). The fundamental mechanisms are debated, but all proposals …

[PDF][PDF] Directional hearing by linear summation of binaural inputs at the medial superior olive

M van der Heijden, JAM Lorteije, A Plauška… - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) enable sound localization by their remarkable
sensitivity to submillisecond interaural time differences (ITDs). Each MSO neuron has its …

[HTML][HTML] Impact of fast sodium channel inactivation on spike threshold dynamics and synaptic integration

J Platkiewicz, R Brette - PLoS computational biology, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Neurons spike when their membrane potential exceeds a threshold value. In central
neurons, the spike threshold is not constant but depends on the stimulation. Thus, input …

Early binaural hearing: The comparison of temporal differences at the two ears

PX Joris, M van der Heijden - Annual review of neuroscience, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Many mammals, including humans, are exquisitely sensitive to tiny time differences between
sounds at the two ears. These interaural time differences are an important source of …

An essential role for modulation of hyperpolarization-activated current in the development of binaural temporal precision

S Khurana, Z Liu, AS Lewis, K Rosa… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
In sensory circuits of the brain, developmental changes in the expression and modulation of
voltage-gated ion channels are a common occurrence, but such changes are often difficult to …
