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 …

The understanding of tinnitus has progressed considerably in the past decade, but the
details of the mechanisms that give rise to this phantom perception of sound without a …

Whether the activation of spiking cell ensembles can be encoded in the local field potential
(LFP) remains unclear. We address this question by combining in vivo electrophysiological …

Interaural time differences (ITDs) are a major cue for sound localization and change with
increasing head size. Since the barn owl's head width more than doubles in the month after …

Both the mammalian and avian auditory systems localize sound sources by computing the
interaural time difference (ITD) with submillisecond accuracy. The neural circuits for this …

Barn owls are a model system for studying prey capture. These animals can catch mice by
hearing alone, but use vision whenever light conditions allow this. The silent flight, the …

To identify the correlates of a single cortical action potential in surface EEG, we recorded
simultaneously epidural EEG and single-unit activity in the primary somatosensory cortex of …

Axons from the nucleus magnocellularis form a presynaptic map of interaural time
differences (ITDs) in the nucleus laminaris (NL). These inputs generate a field potential that …

A wide variety of neurons encode temporal information via phase-locked spikes. In the avian
auditory brainstem, neurons in the cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) send phase …

Extracellular field potentials (EFPs) are an important source of information in neuroscience,
but their physiological basis is in many cases still a matter of debate. Axonal sources are …
