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 …

In this review we take a physiological perspective on the role of voltage‐gated potassium
channels in an identified neuron in the auditory brainstem. The large number of KCN genes …

This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and
Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and …

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 …

Fast, precise, and sustained synaptic transmission at high frequency is thought to be crucial
for the task of sound localization in the auditory brainstem. However, recordings from the …

Bursts of neuronal activity are transmitted more effectively as synapses mature. However,
the mechanisms that control synaptic efficiency during development are poorly understood …

Synapses show widely varying degrees of short-term facilitation and depression. Several
mechanisms have been proposed to underlie short-term plasticity, but the contributions of …

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 three-dimensional morphology of the axosomatic synaptic structures between a calyx of
Held and a principal neuron in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) in the …
