Many sensory neurons encode temporal information by detecting coincident arrivals of
synaptic inputs. In the mammalian auditory brainstem, binaural neurons of the medial …

In computational biology, modeling is a fundamental tool for formulating, analyzing and
predicting complex phenomena. Most neuron models, however, are designed to reproduce …

Neurons of the lateral superior olive (LSO) in the auditory brainstem play a fundamental role
in binaural sound localization. Previous theoretical studies developed various types of …

Computational modeling has a central role in understanding the mechanisms behind
experimental observations. This chapter describes how models of binaural processing are …

Interaural level difference (ILD) is one of the basic binaural clues in the spatial localization of
a sound source. Due to the acoustic shadow cast by the head, a sound source out of the …

To perform echolocation, so-called FM-bats emit short pulses ie, with a duration of a few
milliseconds, and analyse the echoes coming from their environment. One individual echo …

In this article, we study the neural encoding of acoustic information for FM-bats (such as
Eptesicus fuscus) in simulation. In echolocation research, the frequency–time sound …

The lateral superior olive is the first neural area to receive binaural inputs in the mammalian
sound localization pathway. Selective to interaural level differences (ILD) while intensity …

A common symptom of the fragile X syndrome is hypersensitivity to sensory stimulation. The
auditory system serves here as a model to study the changes in the processing of sensory …

Since its discovery 15 years ago, spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) has emerged as
a leading candidate mechanism for activity-dependent synaptic plasticity during neural …
