The arrival times of a sound at the two ears are only microseconds apart, but both birds and
mammals can use these interaural time differences to localize low-frequency sounds …

The current dominant model of binaural sound localization proposes that the lateral position
of a sound source is determined by the position of maximal activation within an array of …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

Myelin-derived axon outgrowth inhibitors, such as Nogo, may account for the lack of axonal
regeneration in the central nervous system (CNS) after trauma in adult mammals. A 66 …

Microsecond differences in the arrival time of a sound at the two ears (interaural time
differences, ITDs) are the main cue for localizing low-frequency sounds in space …

Coincidence-detector neurons in the auditory brainstem of mammals and birds use
interaural time differences to localize sounds,. Each neuron receives many narrow-band …

When an animal hears a sound in its environment, there are several important tasks that the
auditory system must try to accomplish. Two major jobs are to determine what it was that …

This study reports simulations of recent physiological results from the gerbil medial superior
olive (MSO) that reveal that blocking glycinergic inhibition can shift the tuning for the …

The change of firing rates depends on how synaptic features interact with intrinsic properties
of cells in neural system. Considering the chemical synaptic features, we design a …

Low-frequency sound localization depends on the neural computation of interaural time
differences (ITD) and relies on neurons in the auditory brain stem that integrate synaptic …
