Understanding the precise mechanisms underlying mammalian low frequency sound localization is of much interest for both clinical (detecting speech in noise) and fundamental neurobiology (computational) reasons. My research utilizes the avian and mammalian low frequency sound localization circuits to answer questions about functional and developmental aspects of neuronal circuits.
