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 …

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 …

Feedforward inhibition sharpens the precision of neurons throughout ascending auditory
pathways, including the binaural neurons of the medial superior olive (MSO). However, the …

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 …

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 …

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

Coincidence detection by binaural neurons in the medial superior olive underlies sensitivity
to interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural correlation (ρ). It is unclear whether this …

For deaf patients cochlear implants (CIs) can restore substantial amounts of functional
hearing. However, binaural hearing, and in particular, the perception of interaural time …

Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) detect 10 µs differences in the arrival times of a
sound at the two ears. Such acuity requires exquisitely precise integration of binaural …

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 …
