Unlike retinal targets, the cochlear nuclei contain maps of frequency, not location.

So how does the auditory system know ‘where’ a sound is coming from?
By comparing the interaural time differences (ITD) between the ears
How is this accomplished?...

Controversy in the mechanisms of ITD coding
• Mechanisms to code ITD are unclear• Delay lines• Inhibition• Other mechanisms
Beckius et al 1999
Too many best delays outside of physiological range
Peaks vs slopes
Summary of ITD coding
Jeffress model of delay lines consistent with avian MSO
Mammalian mechanisms in dispute Do peaks of activity indicate place in space or
is it the relative amount of activity on two sides (slopes)
Animals with larger heads might have peaks Inhibition plays a role and can shift peaks Role of plasticity? Ear movements?
Interaural Level Difference (ILD) Coding
ITDs work only for the low frequency components of sound
What about higher frequencies?
The sound shadow cast by the head produces interaural level differences
How is this comparison made?...

LSO Creates ILD Responses
Excitatory and inhibitory inputs to LSO When sound is louder in ipsilateral ear, LSO
neurons fire action potentials When sound is louder in the contralateral ear,
LSO neurons are inhibited ILD may overshadow ITD in the LSO
