Bats echolocating in the natural environment face the formidable task of sorting signals from
multiple auditory objects, echoes from obstacles, prey, and the calls of conspecifics …

The auditory thalamus, or medial geniculate body (MGB), is the primary sensory input to
auditory cortex. Therefore, it plays a critical role in the complex auditory processing …

Although the auditory cortex plays a necessary role in sound localization, physiological
investigations in the cortex reveal inhomogeneous sampling of auditory space that is difficult …

Animals investigate their environments by directing their gaze towards salient stimuli. In the
prevailing view, mouse gaze shifts entail head rotations followed by brainstem-mediated eye …

The 20 billion neurons of the neocortex have a mere hundred thousand motor neurons by
which to express cortical contents in overt behavior. Implemented through a staggered …

Spatial hearing, and more specifically the ability to localize sounds in space, is one of the
most studied and best understood aspects of hearing. Because there is no coding of …

A particularly prominent model of auditory cortical function proposes that a dorsal brain
pathway, emanating from the posterior auditory cortex, is primarily concerned with …

In this elegantly written book, Jerome Kagan melds the history of the field of psychology
during the past 50 years with the story of his own research efforts of the same period and an …

In everyday life, sound localization entails more than just the extraction and processing of
auditory cues. When determining sound position in three dimensions, the brain also …

Sound localization is known to be a complex phenomenon, combining multisensory
information processing, experience-dependent plasticity, and movement. Here we present a …
