The individual functional properties and spatial arrangement of afferent synaptic inputs on
dendrites have a critical role in the processing of information by neurons in the mammalian …

Topographically organized maps of the sensory receptor epithelia are regarded as
cornerstones of cortical organization as well as valuable readouts of diverse biological …

Auditory forebrain pathways exhibit several morphological and physiological properties that
underlie their specific neurobiological roles in auditory processing. Anatomically, such …

Neurons integrate synaptic inputs across time and space, a process that determines the
transformation of input signals into action potential output. This article explores how synaptic …

Whole-cell patch clamping in vivo is an important neuroscience technique that uniquely
provides access to both suprathreshold spiking and subthreshold synaptic events of single …

In the mammalian brain, calcium signals in dendritic spines are involved in many neuronal
functions, particularly in the induction of synaptic plasticity. Recent studies have identified …

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 …

Localization accuracy and acuity for low-(0.375–0.75 kHz; LN) and high-frequency (2.25–4.5
kHz; HN) noise bands were examined in young (20–29 years) and older adults (65–83 …

Recent studies have demonstrated the high selectivity of neurons in primary auditory cortex
(A1) and a highly sparse representation of sounds by the population of A1 neurons in awake …

Accurate use of interaural time differences (ITDs) for spatial hearing may require access to
bilateral auditory input during sensitive periods in human development. Providing bilateral …
