Synthesis of hemispheric ITD tuning from the readout of a neural map: commonalities of proposed coding schemes in birds and mammals

JL Peña, F Cazettes, MV Beckert… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
A major cue to infer sound direction is the difference in arrival time of the sound at the left
and right ears, called interaural time difference (ITD). The neural coding of ITD and its …

Change in the coding of interaural time difference along the tonotopic axis of the chicken nucleus laminaris

N Palanca-Castan, C Köppl - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are an important cue for the localization of sounds in
azimuthal space. Both birds and mammals have specialized, tonotopically organized nuclei …

Maps of interaural time difference in the chicken's brainstem nucleus laminaris

C Köppl, CE Carr - Biological cybernetics, 2008 - Springer
Animals, including humans, use interaural time differences (ITDs) that arise from different
sound path lengths to the two ears as a cue of horizontal sound source location. The nature …

Evidence for opponent-channel coding of interaural time differences in human auditory cortex

DA Magezi, K Krumbholz - Journal of neurophysiology, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
In humans, horizontal sound localization of low-frequency sounds is mainly based on
interaural time differences (ITDs). Traditionally, it was assumed that ITDs are converted into …

Population coding of interaural time differences in gerbils and barn owls

NA Lesica, A Lingner, B Grothe - Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are the primary cue for the localization of low-frequency
sound sources in the azimuthal plane. For decades, it was assumed that the coding of ITDs …

The neural code for auditory space depends on sound frequency and head size in an optimal manner

NS Harper, BH Scott, MN Semple, D McAlpine - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
A major cue to the location of a sound source is the interaural time difference (ITD)–the
difference in sound arrival time at the two ears. The neural representation of this auditory …

Auditory spatial tuning at the crossroads of the midbrain and forebrain

ML Pérez, SJ Shanbhag… - Journal of …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
The barn owl's midbrain and forebrain contain neurons tuned to sound direction. The spatial
receptive fields of these neurons result from sensitivity to combinations of interaural time …

Creating a sense of auditory space

D McAlpine - The Journal of physiology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Determining the location of a sound source requires the use of binaural hearing–information
about a sound at the two ears converges onto neurones in the auditory brainstem to create a …

Morphological variation in the nucleus laminaris of birds

MF Kubke, CE Carr - International Journal of Comparative …, 2006 - escholarship.org
Interaural time differences (ITDs) are one of the cues used for binaural sound localisation. In
birds, ITDs are computed in nucleus laminaris (NL), where a place code of azimuthal …

The neural coding of auditory space

TT Takahashi - Journal of experimental biology, 1989 - journals.biologists.com
The barn owl's auditory system computes interaural differences in time and amplitude and
derives from them the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the sound source, respectively …
