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

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 in the brain stem for the processing of ITD: medial superior olive (MSO) in mammals and nucleus laminaris (NL) in birds....
