The tonotopic organization of the parts of the SOC matches the interaural calculations performed
LSO
MSO
MNTB
From Pickles (1988)
Most neural space in
LSO is devoted to high frequencies--the frequencies where IIDs occur in
nature. By contrast, most neural space in MSO is devoted to low
frequenices--the frequenciees for which ITD can be calculated unambiguously.
MNTBÕs tonotopic organization matches that of LSO, as expected.
