Mechanisms of sound localization in mammals
The ability to determine the location of a sound source is fundamental to hearing. However,
auditory space is not represented in any systematic manner on the basilar membrane of the …

Interaural level difference processing in the lateral superior olive and the inferior colliculus
Interaural level differences (ILDs) provide salient cues for localizing high-frequency sounds
in space, and populations of neurons that are sensitive to ILDs are found at almost every …

Latency as a function of intensity in auditory neurons: influences of central processing
The response latencies of sensory neurons typically shorten with increases in stimulus
intensity. In the central auditory system this phenomenon should have a significant impact …

Multiple components of ipsilaterally evoked inhibition in the inferior colliculus
A Klug, EE Bauer, GD Pollak - Journal of Neurophysiology, 1999 - journals.physiology.org
The central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICc) receives a large number of convergent
inputs that are both excitatory and inhibitory. Although excitatory inputs typically are evoked …
