Principal cells of the brainstem’s interaural sound level detector are temporal differentiators rather than integrators

Principal cells of the brainstem’s interaural sound level detector are temporal differentiators rather than integrators

The brainstem’s lateral superior olive (LSO) is thought to be crucial for localizing high-frequency sounds by coding interaural sound level differences (ILD). Its neurons weigh contralateral inhibition against ipsilateral excitation, making their firing rate a function of the azimuthal position of a...
