PowerPoint Presentation - Neural mechanisms of sound localization

The LSO calculates IID by subtracting the response of the contralateral ear from the response of the ipsilateral ear using inhibition.

By adjusting the amount of inhibition delivered by MNTB, can make different LSO neurons respond over different ranges of IIDs.


	This excitation/inhibition mechanism is a good example of how the auditory nervous system derives information from the code carried by the auditory nerve.
