摘要
It is known that the inferior colliculus (IC), a major neural structure in the mammalian auditory pathway, contains neurons that are sensitive to the interaural phase difference (IPD) in terms of the firing rate of action potentials or spikes. However, there is no quantitative analysis of the temporal characteristics of neural sensitivities to the IPD. This paper presents an example of IC neurons for which the temporal firing patterns of the spikes are sensitive to a stimulus IPD, and discusses the implications of the temporal aspects of the response patterns for the neural representation of IPD information.
