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 …

Ribbon‐class synapses in the ear achieve analog to digital transformation of a continuously
graded membrane potential to all‐or‐none spikes. In mammals, several auditory nerve …

Mammalian cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) encode sound with microsecond
precision. Spike triggering relies upon input from a single ribbon-type active zone of a …

Neurons in the medial superior olive (MSO) and lateral superior olive (LSO) of the auditory
brainstem code for sound-source location in the horizontal plane, extracting interaural time …

Some neurons in the nervous system do not show repetitive firing for steady currents. For
time-varying inputs, they fire once if the input rise is fast enough. This property of phasic …

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 …

This paper studies the excitability properties of a generalized FitzHugh--Nagumo model. The
model differs from the classical FitzHugh--Nagumo model in that it accounts for the effect of …

Recently, with the use of an amplitude-modulated binaural beat (AMBB), in which sound
amplitude and interaural-phase difference (IPD) were modulated with a fixed mutual …

We studied the responses of three classes of Morris-Lecar neurons to sinusoidal inputs and
synaptic pulselike stimuli with deterministic and random interspike intervals (ISIs). It was …
