The ongoing activity of neurons generates a spatially and time-varying field of extracellular
voltage (V e). This V e field reflects population-level neural activity, but does it modulate …

Many sensory neurons encode temporal information by detecting coincident arrivals of
synaptic inputs. In the mammalian auditory brainstem, binaural neurons of the medial …

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 …

A fundamental assumption of rate-place models of pitch is the existence of harmonic
templates in the central nervous system (CNS). Shamma and Klein [(2000). J. Acoust. Soc …

Neuronal membrane properties can largely vary even within distinct morphological cell
classes. The mechanisms and functional consequences of this diversity, however, are little …

In mammals with good low-frequency hearing, the medial superior olive (MSO) computes
sound location by comparing differences in the arrival time of a sound at each ear, called …

Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) encode interaural time differences (ITDs) with
sustained firing rates of> 100 Hz. They are able to generate such high firing rates for several …

Interaural time differences (ITDs) represent an important cue in sound localization and
auditory scene analysis. To assess this cue the auditory system internally delays binaural …

The encoding of acoustic stimuli requires precise neuron timing. Auditory neurons in the
cochlear nucleus (CN) and brainstem are well suited for accurate analysis of fast acoustic …

A high-frequency, subthreshold resonance in the guinea pig medial superior olive (MSO)
was recently linked to the efficient extraction of spatial cues from the fine structure of acoustic …
